Lychee sorbet homemade refreshing dessert

Lychee Sorbet

Lychee sorbet is an exotic and refreshing dessert that highlights the sweet, floral aroma of lychees. Originally from China, where they have been cultivated for over 2000 years, lychees were a favorite treat of the imperial court. The first sorbets were consumed in ancient Rome, when snow flavored with honey and fruit juice was cooled. In the modern version, the natural sweetness of lychee and the tangy freshness of lime create a perfect harmony, resulting in a light, icy dessert. Imagine a spoonful of lychee sorbet melting in your mouth, refreshing and invigorating with every bite!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Peel the lychees, remove the pits, and purée in a blender until completely smooth.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes.

    3

    Let the sugar syrup cool, then stir in the lychee purée and lime juice.

    4

    Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer.

    5

    Every 30 minutes, scrape the sorbet with a fork to create an icy texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times, until completely frozen.

    6

    Before serving, let the sorbet stand at room temperature for 5 minutes to make it easier to scoop. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a few whole lychees.
