Last summer I invested in a homemade ice cream maker and my family loves it. A lot of people use their ice cream makers only during the summertime but I’ve been using mine year round. It’s really easy to make your own homemade ice cream and sorbet once you have one.
Today’s guest post recipe is courtesy of Bel Lavoro Olive Orchards. You can visit the company’s website to learn more about them and their olive oil products.
Lemon and Olive Oil Sorbet Recipe
3 cups water
2 cups granulated sugar
Lemon zest from two fresh lemons
1 1/2 cups of lemon juice
2/3 cups Cut1886 olive oil
Sea salt
Combine water, sugar and lemon zest and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer to reduce liquid and create syrup (about 10 minutes). Cool to room temperature. Add lemon juice and olive oil. Process in ice cream maker.
The mixture will take additional time to set up and freeze due to the olive oil. Lightly sprinkle with sea salt right before serving. Serve and Enjoy!

I have an ice cream maker. I have never thought to use olive oil to make ice cream or sorbets. I shall have to try this recipe.
This sounds so light and refreshing. I have never thought of using olive oil in a sorbet recipe.
Interesting to make it with olive oil. Does the olive oil taste come out?
