Mouzin Brothers Cantaloupe Sorbet Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 large Mouzin Brothers cantaloupe, ripe and juicy
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Begin by preparing the cantaloupe. Cut the Mouzin Brothers cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the flesh and transfer it to a blender or food processor.
- In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Add the cooled simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the blender or food processor with the cantaloupe flesh. Blend until smooth and well combined, ensuring that there are no lumps or chunks remaining.
- Pour the cantaloupe mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
- Once chilled, transfer the cantaloupe mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, typically about 20-25 minutes.
- Once the sorbet has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- When ready to serve, remove the cantaloupe sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Use a scoop to portion the sorbet into bowls or cones, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
