Best Olive Oil And Lemon Sorbet Recipes

OLIVE OIL SORBETTO WITH BERRIES AND BALSAMIC

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, salt and basil with 1 cup water in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar. Simmer gently for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the basil from the simple syrup and discard. Whisk the egg white in a medium bowl until frothy. Whisk the hot syrup into the beaten egg white. Whisk in the lemon juice and olive oil. Switch to a rubber spatula and stir occasionally for 5 minutes or until just warm to the touch. Refrigerate until completely chilled, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours.
• To freeze the sorbetto, use a handheld blender to emulsify the base mixture. When the base looks creamy and smooth, pour it directly into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions, about 15 minutes. When the mixture is the consistency of a thick milkshake (do not overprocess or it will separate), transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve, at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, scoop the sorbetto into a small coupe or bowl, sprinkle with berries and drizzle with balsamic.

LEMON OLIVE-OIL ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks together in a medium nonreactive bowl; set aside. Combine cream, milk, sugar, 3 teaspoons lemon zest and the salt in a medium nonreactive saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and mixture begins to bubble around the edges. Ladle about 1 cup of the cream mixture into the egg yolks and whisk vigorously to temper the eggs.
• Pour the egg and cream mixture back into the pan and whisk well to combine. Cook the mixture on medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Take care to not let the mixture boil. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl.
• Slowly stream in the lemon juice and olive oil while whisking constantly, then whisk in the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Chill the mixture in a bowl set over an ice bath until completely cool. Alternatively, cool the mixture completely in the refrigerator, covered, at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Just before churning, whisk the mixture thoroughly. Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface, cover, and freeze until firm. Serve scoops of ice cream with a drizzle of fruity olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and lemon zest, if desired.
