Yuzu Sorbet

Yuzu Sorbet is a refreshing Japanese dessert that captures the vibrant citrus flavor of yuzu, a unique fruit known for its aromatic zest and tartness. This light and creamy sorbet is perfect for cleansing the palate or enjoying on a warm day.

Ingredients

• Yuzu juice - 80 ml
• Granulated sugar - 100 g
• Water - 250 ml
• Salt - a pinch
• Yuzu zest - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes.
2. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
3. Once cooled, add the yuzu juice, yuzu zest, and a pinch of salt to the syrup, mixing well to combine.
4. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer for about 2 hours.
5. After 2 hours, use a fork to scrape the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that have formed. Return to the freezer.
6. Repeat the scraping process every 30 minutes until the sorbet is fully frozen and has a fluffy texture, about 2 to 3 hours more.
7. Once ready, scoop the sorbet into bowls and serve immediately.
