Lemon Cups
Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 lemons with ends trimmed and pulp removed for cups
- 1 can of coconut cream frozen in cubes (ensure it's rich and creamy, not coconut milk)
- 5 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
- 2 lemons peeled, halved, and frozen
- Zest from a single lemon
Instructions
- Begin by freezing the coconut cream in ice cube molds. Allow them to chill in the freezer.
- Peel and halve two lemons, ensuring there are no large seeds. freeze them as well for several hours or overnight.
- Prepare the lemon cups by slicing a small piece off the bottom of each of the six lemons. This will allow the lemons to stand upright without toppling over. Set the sliced segments aside.
- Carefully remove the tops of the lemons, approximately 1/2 to 1 inch in thickness. Keep these tops aside. Using a spoon, extract all the flesh, including pulp and juice, from inside the lemons. Collect about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, making sure to do this over a bowl for easy cleanup.
- Position the hollowed lemons upright and place the sliced bottom pieces inside each lemon to cover any openings at the base.
- Put the lemons, along with the frozen coconut cream and halved frozen lemons, into the freezer. Allow them to freeze for several hours or overnight.
- To create the sorbet, take out the frozen lemons and coconut cream cubes and let them thaw for approximately 20 minutes.
- Place the thawed ingredients into a high-speed blender along with the lemon juice, maple syrup, and optionally, the lemon zest.
- Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth.
- Once the mixture achieves a smooth consistency, remove the lemon cups from the freezer. Use a spoon or ice cream scooper to pour the sorbet mixture into each lemon cup. Garnish with lemon stops.
- Any remaining sorbet can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
- Return the filled lemon cups to the freezer and let them freeze for several hours or overnight before serving.
- Allow the frozen lemon sorbets to thaw for at least 10 minutes before enjoying.
- These delightful frozen treats can be stored in the freezer for up to 5 days.
- Indulge and savor the goodness!
