Ingredients

• 1 cup Key lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Key lime zest
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a simple syrup (approximately 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Once the syrup has cooled, whisk in the freshly squeezed key lime juice, key lime zest, and salt. Ensure the mixture is well combined.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish (if not using an ice cream maker) or your ice cream maker, depending on your preference.

Step 5

If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the sorbet until it reaches a smooth, frozen consistency.

Step 6

If using the no-machine method, place the mixture in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours, making sure to scrape the edges to prevent icy chunks. Continue until the sorbet is fully set and smooth.

Step 7

Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional hour to firm up.

Step 8

Serve in chilled bowls or cones for a refreshing dessert. Enjoy!
