Do any of you out there have an ice cream machine? I've got a recipe for you to try out. I adapted it from a Lemon Sherbet recipe in "The Perfect Scoop" by David Lebovitz.
1/3 cup hot water
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups buttermilk
3 Tbsp lime juice
3 Tbsp Limoncello
Combine the water and sugar, stir or shake until the sugar is completely dissolved. Put syrup in fridge until cool.
In a large mixing bowl, pour in buttermilk, lime juice, and limoncello. Whisk in chilled syrup.
Pour mixture into ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer directions.
So there you go. Creamy, tangy, and refreshing. Beware: because of the alcohol in the limoncello, the ice cream won't ever harden - its more like soft serve. OK by me. Please tell me what you think! Brownie points if you can come up with something to serve it with. Fresh raspberries?
UPDATE! Now that the sherbet has been in the freezer for a couple of days, it has hardened to a dreamy frozen lemonade consistency. You know the stuff you get at the ball park or the fair? Yes!
