Lime sorbet

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
10 fluid ounce Freshly-squeezed lime juice
8 ounces Caster Sugar
2 Egg whites

Directions

Heat the juice and the caster sugar together gently until the sugar has completely dissolved. Test for sweetness and if necessary add a little more sugar. Pour the mixture into a plastic container and put in the freezer. After three to 4 hours, when the mixture is pretty well frozen, spoon it into a food processor and whiz it until it is a mush. Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until they're firm and stir into the mush.

Put it all back into the container and freeze for another 3 or 4 hours. The sorbet should be solid but have quite a soft texture.

To serve allow to stand in the fridge for 20 minutes or so before scooping into individual glasses or bowls.
