Made by combining sugar syrup with yuzu juice and freezing it for a long time, this sorbet turns Japan’s citrus tradition into an elegant dessert. The long freezing time allows the ice crystals to become fine, creating a smooth texture.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the syrup

10 min

Bring the granulated sugar and water to a boil in a pot. Boil for 10 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved completely.

2

Add the yuzu juice and chill

30 min

Remove the syrup from the heat, add the yuzu juice and lemon juice, and let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3

Freeze

120 min

Pour the mixture into a wide, shallow container. Freeze for a total of 120 minutes, stirring with a fork every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours, until smooth and snow-like.

4

Serve

5 min

Divide the sorbet among bowls and serve immediately.

Reminder

Remember to stir the sorbet at regular intervals during the first few hours of freezing; otherwise, the crystals will grow and the texture will become coarse. Take it out of the freezer 10 minutes before serving so it is easier to scoop.
