I love to make this Homemade French Lime Sorbet for dessert on hot days. Lighter than ice cream and much more refreshing, your guests will adore this simple 4 ingredient sorbet. It is important if you plan to serve this sorbet as a dessert, that you allow enough time to allow the sorbet to chill.
To make this recipe, I start by bringing water, sugar and lime juice to a simmer. It is really important when you make this recipe that you do not overcook or burn the mixture or you will have to start again. Chill in the refrigerator before freezing in an ice cream maker. Enjoy this healthy zesty treat if you make it!
To make Homemade French Lime Sorbet, you will need the following ingredients:
Place 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of fresh lime juice in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Cover the saucepan and lower the heat a little. Cook the mixture gently for around three minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Transfer to a freezer safe container and leave to cool to room temperature.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of lime zest.
Cover and place sorbet in the refrigerator to chill for a minimum 2 hours.
Place the sorbet in an ice cream machine and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Serve the sorbet after a meal and enjoy.

Making this French Lime Sorbet reminded me of summers at my grandma's house. It's so light and refreshing that my family always goes for seconds. Just like she did, I love how simple yet delicious it is. Thanks for this great recipe.
This Homemade French Lime Sorbet is superb! My kids loved it on a hot summer day after our backyard BBQ. The recipe is so simple with just four ingredients. I was a bit worried about getting the simmer right, but it turned out great. It's refreshing and a perfect light dessert for the family.
Amazing!
I made this lime sorbet for my friends during a BBQ and it was a hit! The zesty flavor was so refreshing after all the grilling. I loved how easy it was to make with just 4 simple ingredients!
My Hispanic family is going to be begging me for this every family meet up LMAO we are all about that lemon/lime juice in anything and everything!!!
Daughter was NOT a fan it was just too sour for her and there waasn't much in it other than a strong lime taste, I on the other hand liked it but i feel as though it needs some kind of other sugar or sweet topping.
Affordable, simple and slightly time consuming but not enough to make you pull your hair out. Thanks for this.
There's basically nothing in this which is probably why i'm in love lol so cheap.
One of my favorite French desserts it's cold, simple and extremely flavor.
This looks kinda like a mojito icecream haha, wish they made those but this is for sure the next best thing in my opinion.
Lilly you are OUTSTANDING just like your recipes, would marry you just to have you cook all these dishes at home <3
Soo soo yummy!! Tossed in a few chopped up walnuts too so it could be kinda crunchy.
