How To Make Italian Lemon Sorbet | Easy, No Gelato Machine Needed

I tried many different recipes to make sorbetto and, after testing all of them, I finally found what, in my opinion, is the best and easier one.
Sorbetto al limone is something that I really love and I think that, especially when outside it's very hot, there's nothing better to refresh yourself.
In the ancient Roman times people didn't have any freezers, so imagine how difficult it was for them to prepare this delicacy. That's the reason why, anciently, only very wealthy people could afford such a dessert.
Luckily for us, sorbetto, nowadays, has become something easy to make and also monay saving.
In Italy we serve it also at the end of very big meals, for example during Christmas time, or after eating seafood.
I didn't use any gelato machine, so I followed the old fashioned procedure.
If you have one, instead of puring your sorbetto in a container, store it in the freezer and whip it every two hours, just pour it in the machine and let it reach the right texture.
You can keep sorbetto in the freezer up to a month and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
This recipe comes from an Italian chef called Stefano Barbato, who also has a channel here on CZcams. Check it if you like!

[@lapis.lareza]

ciao, grazie Francesco, I am learning Italian food and language.

[@helencheadle5285]

Delicious, and explained so clearly and thoroughly, that we should all manage to do that! I was at a restaurant called “Dorothea’s” in Paris and they served sorbet like that, also orange sorbet, also served inside a scoured out fruit. I presume the recipe is the same for an orange? Or markedly different? Thankyoi so much for your clear precise instructions! 🙋‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰👍🦋💕🙏

[@TheXIngredient]

I should definitely try this recipe with oranges.. I think it would be great. Thank you for your comment!

[@likesoyourpersonalspeechco9799]

Just back from
Amalfi where I fell in love w sobretto di limone. Love your recipe for sobretto di limone. Is there a way to print it out? Grazie Mille!

[@help-123]

Love u

[@user-gb6xz2te5w]

Thanks so much, just come back from Sorrento and am inspired! I imagine once the sorbet is ready you can store it inside the lemons in the freezer in advance of a party?

[@TheXIngredient]

Thank you for your comment! Yes you definitely can, enjoy your party!!!

[@dawnleary6487]

I have been waiting for this recipe, can i do the same with fresh limes? Thank you for this recipe.

[@TheXIngredient]

I never tried it, but I assume it would work! In case you try it, please let me know how it went, if you can :)

[@EvelyninHK]

Thank you for your video. May I know why we need to add egg white? I watched several videos for lemon sorbet but none mentioned it. By the way, yours looks very good❤

[@TheXIngredient]

Hi! Thank you for your comment. Honestly I added the egg white because it is included in the traditional recipe. I think it helps keeping the mixture foamy and airy, so that the final result has a better and smoother texture.

[@gypjack258]

Please remember to wash lemons with either vinegar or fruit wash. You don’t want all those chemicals or wax.

[@TheXIngredient]

We don't have any of this in Italy and the lemons were very good quality, but thanks for the advice!

[@k.s.421]

If its "organic", you don't have to wash it.
Here in Austria, we can buy lemons from the Amalfi coast and they are organic, so no chemical treatments. I just rinse them with warm water before i use them in the kitchen.
Great video, thanks. I have eaten this amazing dessert in an italian restaurant a few years ago, it was just delicious! Greetings from Austria, Kath xx.

[@lemochello84]

Can I use whipping cream instead of egg white?

[@TheXIngredient]

You can try, but I am afraid that the cream could react differently during the freezing process. Plus, it would become more like lemon gelato than sorbet. In case you try let me know how it turns out! :)

[@lemochello84]

thanks for the reply. I will let you know when I make it@@TheXIngredient

[@adityaksengupta]

I had the same question... ​@@lemochello84 , did you get around to trying it with cream?

[@yuegu2965]

so,totally freeze for 6 hours?

[@TheXIngredient]

Yes!

[@janettempest716]

Don’t need music 😱

[@aladinos55]

[@MissSusieQue1]
