Lemon Sorbet

This Lemon Sorbet is the perfect sugar-free dessert for a warm summer night when your sweet tooth is getting the best of you, or to serve between courses at your dinner party to cleanse the palate. Just 3 simple ingredients create a delicious chilled dessert sans artificial sweeteners and sugar, unlike the store-bought or classic formulas for sorbet. Change up the flavour by replacing the lemons and zest with other fresh fruit, limes or berries, and adding herbs and spices as desired too. Adding a splash of coconut milk or almond milk will turn it into a sherbet.
