The good weather has finally come back, and with the arrival of the heat, the period for sorbets/ice creams that we love so much is back.
And in the heat a nice lemon sorbet without egg whites is more than good. Fresh and hydrating, ideal after meals.
You read it right, without egg whites, because in reality the original sorbet has them, but I wanted to try the version without, much lighter
and also suitable for vegans.
With the sorbet I have officially started the “family ice cream shop” and soon there will be many other ad hoc recipes.
I wish you a good day and I leave you with the recipe for the thermomix lemon sorbet.
See you for the next recipe!
Nea!
Thermomix Lemon Sorbet no eggs
Ingredients
- 2 lemons natural
- 180 gr sugar
- 700 gr ice
Instructions
Put the sugar in the jug, pulverize: 30 sec. speed Turbo.
Peel the lemons, cut them into pieces, remove the seeds and put them in the jug, add the ice, mince: 1 min. from speed 4 to speed Turbo.
Serve immediately... Enjoy your meal!
Sounds so easy! I haven’t made sorbet since the demo by the vendor… I wonder why not!
I always thought you had to use frozen fruit; didn’t realise you could use mushed fruit/juice and add ice to it! I always have a bag of cubes in my freezer, is that ok or are they too big? I know Theo (my Thermomix) can handle a lot, but won’t it blunt the blades?
I know winter is coming but I’ll have to give this a try, since I always have lemons, ice and sugar, and it sounds like it won’t take long! Can you add herbs too, if they’re whizzed up with the lemon? Lemon balm for example? I’ve got a lot of that. Or, might it ruin it?
The picture shows the sorbet looking very icy rather than smooth; I appreciate that’s due to the lack of egg, but does it affect the eating of it much?
Also (final Q I promise) instead of serving asap, can you freeze what you don’t eat, for another day? Albeit it will obviously be quite icy.
Thanks for the recipe, would love to know more!
(I know I could just test it, the ingredients aren’t expensive, but I’m physically disabled which is partly why I got my wonderful Theo – and don’t have energy to spare, sadly. So any response will help a lot. Cheers!)
Tried this recipe at holiday house and it was a hit with everyone.
Simple and quick, kids excited to experiment with tastes.
Thanks for making summer dessert so easy,
Can i use Monk fruit as sweetener?It will have less calories then sugar and healthier
This is about the closest to the original thermomix recipe i can find; that we first saw at the demo when we were introduced to the thermomix. Although that one started with pulverising the sugar with lemon rind and then adding the ice – can’t seem to find that one anywhere tho?? feel free to share the link anyone who knows it / remembers it? seems like it may have been removed in favor of the new one (8 hrs freezer time!!)
this one was instant; much like your recipe. Will definitely try this one too 😉
