Chef’s Tips
How to get the perfect texture
The key is breaking ice crystals while freezing. Stirring and blending at the end ensures a smooth, creamy consistency.
Balance sweetness and acidity
Taste before freezing. Lemons vary a lot, so adjust sugar if needed.
The egg white trick
Adding whipped egg white makes the sorbet lighter and more airy—just like in restaurants.
