Indulge in the refreshing burst of citrus with this fantastic homemade lemon sorbet recipe. Perfect for hot summer days or as a palate cleanser between courses, this sorbet is bursting with zesty lemon flavor and is surprisingly easy to make. Here’s how to whip up a batch of this delightful treat.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: Lemon slices or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved, and the mixture forms a simple syrup. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Once the simple syrup has cooled, stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well to combine, ensuring that the lemon juice is fully incorporated into the syrup.
  3. Pour the lemon mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.
  4. Every 30 minutes, remove the sorbet mixture from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and fluff the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that form. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours, or until the sorbet reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Once the sorbet is firm but still scoopable, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the freezer until ready to serve. When serving, scoop the sorbet into bowls or glasses. Garnish with lemon slices or mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness, if desired.
  6. Enjoy this refreshing lemon sorbet on its own as a light and tangy dessert, or pair it with fresh berries, shortbread cookies, or a drizzle of honey for added indulgence.

Netflix has yet to share the release date of Season 5 of Stranger Things, but they found a way to sweeten the wait for the show’s final chapter. The streaming giant joined forces with Walmart for a collection of ice cream flavors inspired by the beloved sci-fi series.

The ice cream parlor Scoops Ahoy was introduced during the show’s fourth season, as Steve Harrington or Robin Buckley’s workplace within the Starcourt Mall. Netflix is now inviting you to set sail on the ocean of delicious flavors from this fictional nautical-themed ice cream shop with their latest Walmart collaboration.

“To help you kick the end of summer blues, Netflix and Walmart are bringing you a whole line of Scoops Ahoy ice cream flavors this fall, all tied to episodes, themes, and characters from the world of Stranger Things,” reads the streamer’s official statement.

Netflix introduced several flavors inspired by the show itself, including U.S.S. Butterscotch, Cinnamon Bun Bytes, Chocolate Pudding, and Triple Decker. The last flavor is the most elaborate – it’s a vanilla and butter ice cream, swirled with maple ribbons, peanut butter, and waffle bites.

Two flavors inspired by the Upside Down are also a part of this launch, including Mint Flare, Pineapple Upside, and the black vanilla ice cream The Void.

Move over traditional ice cream, there’s a new kid in town! Cottage cheese ice cream has taken the internet by storm and is quickly becoming the latest food trend. Who knew that this humble dairy product could be transformed into such a delicious dessert? Here is why this food trend is so popular.

Health Benefits

First of all, let’s talk about the health benefits. Cottage cheese is packed with protein and calcium, making it a great alternative to traditional ice cream which is often high in sugar and fat. Plus, it’s a great way to sneak some extra nutrients into your diet!

Flavor

Now onto the fun part—the flavors. You might be thinking, “cottage cheese ice cream? That sounds bland and boring.” But fear not, because there are endless possibilities when it comes to flavor combinations. Some popular choices include strawberry cheesecake, chocolate peanut butter, and lemon blueberry.

Texture

The texture is just as important. Cottage cheese gives the ice cream a unique creaminess that you won’t find in regular ice cream. And if you’re worried about any cottage cheese curds, don’t worry – a quick blend in the blender or food processor will smooth it all out.

Recipe

To make cottage cheese ice cream, simply blend together cottage cheese, sweetener of choice, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk until smooth. Then, freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker until it reaches a creamy consistency.

But that’s just the basic recipe—there are countless variations and additions you can make to customize your cottage cheese ice cream to your liking. For example, you can mix in fresh fruit for a burst of flavor and nutrition, or add cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even experiment with savory flavors like adding herbs or spices, or topping your ice cream with crunchy nuts or seeds. The possibilities are endless!

Ben & Jerry’s is no stranger to creating flavors for famous people, and Ava DuVernay is now the latest to join the pint brigade. 

To date, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Colin Kaepernick, and Chance the Rapper have all had flavors made in their honor, with proceeds going to charitable causes. DuVernay’s ice cream will be no different. Part of the profits of every pint (try saying that three times fast…) will go to the A Wrinkle in Time director’s non-profit organization, ARRAY Alliance, which produces and distributes film work made by women and people of color.

“Ice cream is a simple joy of life. A comfort food that I’ve turned to on many days,” DuVernay said. “Partnering with Ben & Jerry’s, a company that I’ve long admired for their commitment to social justice, has been a thrill ride. I had the opportunity to work with food scientists to create a flavor with all the ingredients that I personally love for a cause close to my heart.”

The filmmaker helped to create the flavor which has been named Lights! Caramel! Action! With a vanilla base, salted caramel swirls, graham cracker swirls, and bits of chocolate chip cookie dough, it will be available in both a dairy and non-dairy version.

Ice cream is a summer staple, but there’s nothing worse than going for some and it being rock hard. While there are ways to thaw it out, some will leave you with super melty ice cream around the edges of the carton while it’s still hard in the center, making for a mess. So, what’s the best way to quickly soften ice cream?

Refrigerator

The best way to soften ice cream is to do it in the refrigerator because it makes the temperature even throughout the carton and the texture consistent. Let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Cutting It

If you don’t have time to wait for your ice cream to thaw you can cut it. Start by running a sharp knife under hot water to heat it up and then slice the ice cream crosswise and then lengthwise. Heat up the scoop by running it under hot water and then use the scoop to dig into the slices.

Microwave

This is the quickest way to soften ice cream and probably the most popular. Just put the tub into the microwave and turn the microwave at 30% power for about 30 seconds.

Milkshakes are one of our favorite ice cream treats. Made from a base of milk and ice cream, this dairy-centric dessert allows for all kinds of flavor variations to suit the preferences of whoever will be drinking it.

Looking for ideas to make milkshakes that go beyond the traditional chocolate and vanilla flavors? Here are three great ingredients to try.

Oreo Cookies

The world’s favorite cookie to drink in milk, unsurprisingly, also goes great when incorporated into milkshakes. The chocolate cookie breaks into small chunks that spread throughout the milkshake, imbuing the dessert with a crispy, chocolately essence that you’ll love.

Fresh Strawberries

One of our favorite milkshake combinations is fresh strawberries with vanilla ice cream. Evoking the classic strawberries and cream dessert, the sweetness and slightly tangy flavor of strawberries blends perfectly inside of a milkshake.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

According to a recent survey, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the favorite candy of 38% of Americans. It’s no surprise, then, that this peanut butter and chocolate candy also goes great inside of a milkshake. You can make it with chocolate or vanilla ice cream, depending on whether you want a chocolate-heavy or a more peanut-butter focused treat.

Move over traditional ice cream, there’s a new kid in town! Cottage cheese ice cream has taken the internet by storm and is quickly becoming the latest food trend. Who knew that this humble dairy product could be transformed into such a delicious dessert? Here is why this food trend is so popular.

Health Benefits

First of all, let’s talk about the health benefits. Cottage cheese is packed with protein and calcium, making it a great alternative to traditional ice cream which is often high in sugar and fat. Plus, it’s a great way to sneak some extra nutrients into your diet!

Flavor

Now onto the fun part—the flavors. You might be thinking, “cottage cheese ice cream? That sounds bland and boring.” But fear not, because there are endless possibilities when it comes to flavor combinations. Some popular choices include strawberry cheesecake, chocolate peanut butter, and lemon blueberry.

Texture

The texture is just as important. Cottage cheese gives the ice cream a unique creaminess that you won’t find in regular ice cream. And if you’re worried about any cottage cheese curds, don’t worry – a quick blend in the blender or food processor will smooth it all out.

Recipe

To make cottage cheese ice cream, simply blend together cottage cheese, sweetener of choice, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk until smooth. Then, freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker until it reaches a creamy consistency.

But that’s just the basic recipe—there are countless variations and additions you can make to customize your cottage cheese ice cream to your liking. For example, you can mix in fresh fruit for a burst of flavor and nutrition, or add cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even experiment with savory flavors like adding herbs or spices, or topping your ice cream with crunchy nuts or seeds. The possibilities are endless!

Ben & Jerry’s is no stranger to creating flavors for famous people, and Ava DuVernay is now the latest to join the pint brigade. 

To date, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Colin Kaepernick, and Chance the Rapper have all had flavors made in their honor, with proceeds going to charitable causes. DuVernay’s ice cream will be no different. Part of the profits of every pint (try saying that three times fast…) will go to the A Wrinkle in Time director’s non-profit organization, ARRAY Alliance, which produces and distributes film work made by women and people of color.

“Ice cream is a simple joy of life. A comfort food that I’ve turned to on many days,” DuVernay said. “Partnering with Ben & Jerry’s, a company that I’ve long admired for their commitment to social justice, has been a thrill ride. I had the opportunity to work with food scientists to create a flavor with all the ingredients that I personally love for a cause close to my heart.”

The filmmaker helped to create the flavor which has been named Lights! Caramel! Action! With a vanilla base, salted caramel swirls, graham cracker swirls, and bits of chocolate chip cookie dough, it will be available in both a dairy and non-dairy version.

Ice cream is a summer staple, but there’s nothing worse than going for some and it being rock hard. While there are ways to thaw it out, some will leave you with super melty ice cream around the edges of the carton while it’s still hard in the center, making for a mess. So, what’s the best way to quickly soften ice cream?

Refrigerator

The best way to soften ice cream is to do it in the refrigerator because it makes the temperature even throughout the carton and the texture consistent. Let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Cutting It

If you don’t have time to wait for your ice cream to thaw you can cut it. Start by running a sharp knife under hot water to heat it up and then slice the ice cream crosswise and then lengthwise. Heat up the scoop by running it under hot water and then use the scoop to dig into the slices.

Microwave

This is the quickest way to soften ice cream and probably the most popular. Just put the tub into the microwave and turn the microwave at 30% power for about 30 seconds.

Milkshakes are one of our favorite ice cream treats. Made from a base of milk and ice cream, this dairy-centric dessert allows for all kinds of flavor variations to suit the preferences of whoever will be drinking it.

Looking for ideas to make milkshakes that go beyond the traditional chocolate and vanilla flavors? Here are three great ingredients to try.

Oreo Cookies

The world’s favorite cookie to drink in milk, unsurprisingly, also goes great when incorporated into milkshakes. The chocolate cookie breaks into small chunks that spread throughout the milkshake, imbuing the dessert with a crispy, chocolately essence that you’ll love.

Fresh Strawberries

One of our favorite milkshake combinations is fresh strawberries with vanilla ice cream. Evoking the classic strawberries and cream dessert, the sweetness and slightly tangy flavor of strawberries blends perfectly inside of a milkshake.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

According to a recent survey, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the favorite candy of 38% of Americans. It’s no surprise, then, that this peanut butter and chocolate candy also goes great inside of a milkshake. You can make it with chocolate or vanilla ice cream, depending on whether you want a chocolate-heavy or a more peanut-butter focused treat.
