LEMON SORBETTO BLENDED WITH MASCARPONE CHEESE

Sharing is caring!

Wandering through the food blogosphere we come across so many fantastic recipes, I’m always inspired by the talent of all my fellow food bloggers. I must have a list a mile long of recipes I’ve bookmarked to try!

Sometimes I come across a concept that is so simple, and I think to myself, what a brilliant idea! I knew back in April when I saw this over at Taste With The Eyes, that it was something I was going to make, lemon with mascarpone a match made in heaven and I could not wait to make it!

What attracted me to this was how simple it was to make but yet the end result was so dreamy and decadent. In fact Lori Lynn’s own words were ” it’s embarrassingly simple”.
All you do is take 1 pint of your favorite sorbet, put it on your counter and let it defrost a little, take out your food processor, and put in the sorbet along with 6oz. of mascarpone cheese. Give it a whirl until all combined and smooth. Spoon it into a pretty glass, and refreeze it. Garnish it with whatever your heart desires, I just used some lemon peel.
The best thing about this is there was no ice cream machine needed, and no one would ever know the difference!!

Slightly defrost before you serve it because that’s when the true flavors come out, then sit down and enjoy every creamy spoonful!
My Hubby loved this so much that now he wants me to try blending an orange sorbet with the mascarpone, sort of like an upscale dreamsicle.
I think the possibilities are endless, don’t you?
Thanks Lori Lynn, for letting us all in on “your little secret”.

WARNING!!! This could become very addicting!!

  12. Sounds refreshing, light, and delicious. I’d love to try it. I’m just about ready to get out the ice cream maker, but I still love to find frozen treats that don’t require its use.

  13. I love lemons – to the point of addiction and this is going straight into my “things to do this summer” file.

  14. Oh, you’re bad! You should have put the disclaimer at the top, not the bottom!! Of course, I think by the time I had looked at the first picture I was already addicted…perfect garnish too!

  19. Oh I can’t wait to try this one! This is perfect for those summer bbq’s when you are grossly sated with too much meat & need something light and sweet to complete the meal. I like this kind of addictions…. I say this as I’m strapping on my runners hoping to shed some cake weight.

  34. Wow! This looks delicious… and I just happen to have fave sorbet and some mascarpone cheese right now…

  35. Looks delicious. I’ve made my own lemon sorbet. Running out tonight to get some mascarpone.

  36. What a GREAT idea! I love these things – simple yet FABULOUS! Wish I had thought of it! LOL!

  37. I need a mascarpone 12 step group.
    Your blog is just too tempting 🙂

  38. Anything with mascarpone gets a high five in my book. Even if it is a simple idea, you need to think outside the box to come up with it.

  39. Yeah from the pic i can surely say that it will become addictive. Delicious. I can taste them by just looking at it 🙂

  40. Looks really good. That last photo is just so tempting.

  42. This is one of those *Why didn’t I think of that* moments. Great idea!

  43. This a really yummy and wonderful Marie!! what´s beauty pictures !xxxGloria

  44. Oh Marie – YOU MADE MY DAY! I am so excited to see that you made this dessert.

    We were having a dinner party, and the person who was supposed to bring dessert couldn’t make it at the last minute. One of my guests called her husband and asked him to pick up some sorbet for me on his way over. She told him 12 guests, but he heard 12 pints. So that night we made a last minute dessert with lemon sorbet, a splash of limoncello and a chiffonade of fresh basil. And since no one would take home any of the sorbet, I was left with a freezer full of pints of lemon sorbet. This recipe was one of my experiments.

    Thank you so much for all the praise and recognition. And to quote myself, it is a “little embarrassing” since it is so darn simple.

    You are so gracious and it tickles me to no end to know that you, Hubby, and your friends are enjoying my creation.

    Lori Lynn

    P.S. I love your version – so fabulous, sunny and summery!

  45. I would be so busted for devouring the sorbetto head first and a dollop sticking at the end of my nose!

  46. That looks so good. I went to the grocery store today to get some marscapone for something else…they didn’t have any!!! I am going to try my Italian market…they must have it!!! I so need to try this.

  47. That is a brillant idea!

  48. Oh yeah, thanks for posting this, like you I have a “to do list” of recipes from fellow bloggers to wade through 🙂

    This definitely goes on the list …
