Salted Lime Sherbet (Margarita Ice Cream)
Report
This Margarita Ice Cream (Salted Lime Sherbet) is tangy, salty, creamy and refreshing, and so easy to make! It has all the flavors of a classic margarita, (optionally) MINUS the alcohol, so even kids can enjoy this delicious frozen treat all summer long!

Ingredients
- ⅔ cup lime juice I used small limes, so I had to use A LOT
- 4 tsp grated lime zest
- 3 oz sugar
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¾ cup of whole milk or half and half
- Additional 1 cup of whole milk chilled
- 1 cup of cream chilled or substitute with half and half
- 3 - 4 tbsp silver tequila optional - and will result in a softer sherbet

Instructions
- Place ¾ cup of whole milk, salt and sugar in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar has melted. Add the grated lime zest and lime juice and mix to combine. The milk will curdle - this is normal.
- Add the rest of the chilled milk, cream and tequila (if using) and mix well to combine. Transfer to the freezer or fridge to chill.
- Add the chilled mix to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer to a container and let it harden in the freezer for a few hours.
- Let it soften a little before scooping the ice cream (or use a warm scoop to make it easier).
- Zest extra lime on top before serving (optional).
No Ice Cream Churner? No problem!
- Place the milk mixture in a large flat freezer proof dish. Every few hours, break the hardened milk base with a fork and mix it in with the rest.
- Repeat this every few hours (changing to a whisk or hand mix as the mixture hardens more), until the mix is icy and smooth. Let it harden for a few hours.
