Questions about Lemon sherbet

What does lemon sherbet mean in the UK?

In Britain, sherbet often means a tangy, fizzy sweet powder, but lemon sherbet can also refer to a frozen dessert. If you’re looking for a scoopable pudding, check that it’s sold frozen; frozen sherbet may contain dairy, unlike sorbet.

How should you serve frozen lemon sherbet?

Take it out of the freezer for about 5 minutes before scooping, so it softens slightly without turning runny. Serve it in chilled bowls for a sharp, refreshing pudding.

How should you store lemon sherbet?

Keep frozen sherbet in the freezer with the lid or wrapper sealed to help prevent ice crystals and freezer smells. Return it to the freezer promptly after serving.

What goes well with lemon sherbet?

Serve it with summer berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, or alongside a slice of lemon drizzle cake. A plain shortbread biscuit also works well with its sharp citrus flavour.

Can you use lemon sorbet instead of lemon sherbet?

Yes, in a frozen dessert or as a palate cleanser, lemon sorbet is a good swap. It may taste sharper and usually won’t have the creamy note found in sherbet recipes that include dairy.

How much sugar is in lemon sherbet?

It contains 28 g of sugar per 100 g, so treat it as a sweet dessert rather than an everyday thirst-quencher.
