Refreshing Lime Sherbet

Print Recipe

A vibrant and light lime sherbet that’s both creamy and zesty, perfect for any season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice (about 6–8 limes)
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1–2 drops green food coloring

Instructions

  1. Juice those limes! Start by cutting the limes in half and juicing them until you have one cup of fresh lime juice.
  2. Zest it up! Grab a microplane or zester and zest one tablespoon from the lime peels.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, lime zest, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until blended.
  4. Sweeten to taste. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, whisking until it dissolves completely.
  5. Add optional food coloring if desired, one drop at a time, until you achieve the desired hue.
  6. Chill the mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.
  7. Churn away! After it’s chilled, transfer your lime mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  8. Freeze until firm. Transfer the churned sherbet into a clean container and freeze for about 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Notes

This sherbet can be served in dessert bowls or waffle cones. Garnish with mint or a sprinkle of zest for an extra touch.
