Cottage cheese sorbet
Unlike traditional ice cream, this sorbet recipe is 100% egg-free and does not use milk. The creaminess comes from cottage cheese (hello proteins!) and mascarpone! To flavor this cottage cheese sorbet, we prepare a simple syrup infused with lemon zest and add lemon juice to the mixture. Feel free to try your own additions – see tips below for suggestions!

Directions
How to make the cottage cheese sorbet
1. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and grated zest of one lemon. Bring to a boil, then cut the heat and let cool down.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone and cottage cheese until smooth.
3. Squeeze the lemons over the mascarponce and cottage cheese. Mix well with a whisk.
4. Pour the Lemon, mascarpone and cottage cheese mixture in the saucepan with the syrup. Whisk again, to get a smooth consistency.
5. Pour the mixture in a sorbet/ice-cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20 to 30 minutes. The sorbet should be firm and creamy. Remove to a clean, cold airtight container – freeze if you want a firmer consistency or you plan to serve later.
6. To serve the cottage cheese sorbet, scrape the sorbet using a tablespoon to form an oval-shaped scoop. Serve with a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or fresh berries. Enjoy!
