Melon Sorbet

This sorbet is light and refreshing, perfect for enjoying on its own or topped with strawberries, herbs and champagne.

Ingredients

  • 75 ml lemon juice
  • 500 g melon puree
  • 200 g sugar
  • 200 ml water
  • 20 g cornstarch

Instructions

  • In a small pot, combine the water, sugar, and cornstarch. Place the pot on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Once it starts boiling, stir vigorously for one minute to ensure the cornstarch is cooked through.
  • Turn off the heat and check the mixture's texture by sampling a small bit off a spoon. You're not really tasting it, but feeling the texture against the roof of your mouth. If it still feels floury, cook for another minute. If not, pour the mixture into a container and let it cool in the refrigerator.
  • While the mixture is cooling down, cube the melon and blend it until it is thoroughly pureed. Ensure that the melon is well blended.
  • Juice the lemon and strain out any seeds.
  • Once the sugar mixture (slurry) has cooled down, blend it into the melon puree along with the lemon juice. Blend everything really well to ensure a smooth consistency.
  • Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning.
  • Once the sorbet reaches a desirable frozen consistency, transfer it to a container and place it in the freezer until ready to serve.
  • When you're ready to enjoy the sorbet, scoop it into serving bowls or glasses.
  • Enjoy!
