Ice cream recipes
By: LizH

Ice creams and sorberts are a refreshing treat in hot weather.  When you make your own, you can adjust the recipes to suit your taste.  If you're health-conscious, you can easily make lower-fat and lower-cal versions of your favorite treats.  I'll use this blog to share some of my favorite recipes, and feel free to post your own in the comments section as well!

  • Lime-Basil Sorbet

    I actually haven't tried this one yet, but I'm looking forward to it.  The great thing about sorbet is that you don't need an ice cream maker - putting it in the freezer and taking it out for stirring every 30 mins or so works just as well.

    Lime-Basil Sorbet:

    1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
    1 cup water
    1 cup (approximately 6 limes) freshly-squeezed
    lime juice
    18 to 20 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
    Sprig of fresh basil for each serving as a garnish

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until mixture comes to a boil; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat.

    In a food processor or blender, puree lime juice, sugar mixture, and chopped basil leaves.

    Ice Cream Maker - Transfer mixture to ice cream maker, process according to manufacturer's instructions.

    Freezer Method - Pour into container, cover, and place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover and refreeze until serving time. When ready to serve, use a melon baller and place 3 scoops in a stemmed glass. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil and serve.

    NOTE: Can be prepared 3 days in advance. Cover and keep frozen.

    Makes 8 to 10 servings.

    This sounds delicious! I just recently purchased little molds that come in all different shapes and sizes. It is so easy to make and comes out just like sorbet. It is a great treat!
