Recipe for lemon sorbet with cava
Ingredienser til 8 personer
- 1 l lemon sorbet (buy a good sorbet or make your own
- 1 bottle of cava – semi sweet (semi seco)
- Grated, organic lemon peel
How to do it
Put the lemon sorbet in a pitcher and pour ice-cold cava over it. Blend it together quickly (it should be foamy). Pour the lemon sorbet and cava mixture into tall glasses. Garnish with grated lemon zest and serve immediately.
Make sure you prepare the dessert just before serving. It has a tendency to peel if left for a while.
Tip: If your party includes children, you can omit the cava and instead mix it with a little sparkling water and/or cream. The kids will love that they can join in too.
