Lemon is often enjoyed as a dessert. When temperatures soar and a heatwave is on the way, make it as a frozen treat! This sorbet adds the refreshing touch we crave, along with a hint of acidity. For an even more original presentation, serve it in the hollowed-out lemon shells. The result is as colorful as it is appetizing!

Ingredients

2 lemons
80 g sugar
175 ml water
1 egg white
1 tsp icing sugar

Estimated cost: 1.31€ (0.22€/serving)

Preparation

Cut the top off each lemon and gently squeeze the juice out, being careful not to damage the peel. Then, remove all the pulp from the fruit, keeping only the peel. Place them in the fridge.
Combine the sugar and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and pour it into the lemon juice. Stir and place in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
Whisk the egg white with the icing sugar until stiff peaks form.
Remove the lemon juice from the freezer and gently fold in the egg white.
Place in the freezer for 30 minutes, then remove and mix gently. Don't worry if there's liquid at the bottom; it will disappear in the end. Repeat this process once or twice.
Fill the lemon peels with the sorbet. Enjoy!
