Easy Fresh Orange Sorbet (without an ice cream maker)
These pretty Orange Sorbets are from the South of France, where they are called Orange Givrées. Refreshingly easy to make with no ice cream maker needed, just oranges, sugar and a little lemon for extra zest!
Ingredients
- 4 oranges (medium or large)
- 4 tablespoon sugar
- ½ lemon
Instructions
- Orange Prep. Slice the tops off the oranges. Remove the orange flesh from the orange rind using a sharp knife. Put the orange flesh (pulp and juice) into a bowl. Check the orange skins sit steadily on a flat surface. If not, cut a thin slice from the bottom of the orange to make it flat, making sure you do not cut into the hollowed out part.
- Blend and Strain Oranges. Blend the orange pulp using a hand mouli or an electric blender. The mouli both blends and strains the orange pulp. If using an electric blender, try to remove as much of the pith before blending and strain the orange puree using a wire strainer.
- Combine ingredients. Squeeze the lemon juice from the lemon and add to the strained orange pulp. Add the sugar to the fresh juice orange mixture and stir in thoroughly using a fork until completely dissolved.
- Half freeze. Place the bowl containing the orange sorbet mixture into the freezer, until the mixture is half frozen. This takes about 2 to 3 hours. Remove from the freezer and mash the frozen pulp using a fork.
- Fill the orange skins. Divide the chilled orange sorbet mixture equally between the orange skins.
- Second freeze. Place the filled orange skins in a covered container in the freezer. Freeze the tops of the oranges separately. The orange sorbet mixture will expand upon freezing.
