Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 4 cups lychee flesh 2 lbs whole lychee
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water in a sauce pan. Mix and heat until the sugar melts. Pour simple syrup into a freezer safe bowl and let it cool for 1 hour.
- While the simple syrup is cooling, remove the shells and seeds from 4 cups of lychee flesh (~2 lbs of whole lychee). Add lychee flesh to a blender.
- Pour simple syrup over the blender. Sprinkle ¼ tsp of salt into the mixture and blend until the lychee is broken down.
- Pour lychee mixture into an ice cream maker and churn until a soft sorbet forms (15-20 minutes).
- Serve right away or if you would like a more frozen sorbet, put in the freezer to freeze at least 3 hours. I like to do it overnight.
Notes
- For the no churn method, refer to the blog post.
- Store this sorbet in the freezer for up to 3 months.
