Ingredients

• 1 cup Lemon juice
• 1 cup Water
• 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Vodka (optional, helps with texture)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by zesting the lemons to collect 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. Then juice enough lemons to yield 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated erythritol over medium heat. Stir continuously until the erythritol is completely dissolved, forming a clear syrup, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Once the syrup is ready, remove it from heat and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.

Step 4

Let the lemon mixture cool to room temperature. If you are using vodka, stir it in once the mixture is cool. Vodka is optional but recommended if you want a softer texture, as it prevents hard freezing.

Step 5

Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20–30 minutes.

Step 6

Once churned, transfer the sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.

Step 7

Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then scoop into bowls and enjoy!
