Receta Watermelon Sherbert
Watermelon Sherbert
I've been buying alot of fruit lately, and no one is eating it. I bought a whole watermelon (not a huge one) and if I eat any more I'll be floating down the street! Instead of a fruit salad, I came across this sherbert recipe.
It's super easy and no ice cream maker necessary!
You will need:
- 3 cups watermelon puree ( just puree in your blender)
- 1-1/2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2/3 cup sugar
Place watermelon in a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover and blend until smooth. Repeat with additional watermelon until you have 3 cups of melon puree.
In a large mixing bowl, combine watermelon puree, heavy cream, buttermilk, sugar and a few drops of red food coloring (optional). Stir the mixture until sugar is dissolved.
Transfer to a 9 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Cover and freeze 2 to 3 hours or until almost firm.
Break the frozen watermelon mixture into chunks. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth, but not melted.
Cover and freeze until firm. Makes 1-1/4 qts.
Note: I preferred this sherbet soft-serve consistency. After it was frozen firm, I micro-waved it for 30 seconds, then beat it again with the mixer and it was smoother and creamier.
