Refresh this summer with watermelon basil sorbet.
Ingredients:
  • 430.00 gm caster sugar
  • 125.00 ml firmly packed basil leaves (stalks reserved)
  • 1.5kg seedless watermelon, peeled, chopped
  • 2 egg whites
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup of water. Stir over medium heat for 3 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Add basil leaves and stalks, let it infuse for 4 minutes. Strain the basil syrup into a metal bowl and chill in the fridge.
  • In a food processor, puree watermelon until smooth. Add cold basil syrup and blend until well mixed (you may need to do this in 2 rounds depending on your processor's size). Transfer the mixture to a 25cm x 30cm metal pan, cover, and freeze for at least 5 hours, or until nearly set.
  • In a bowl, vigorously whisk the egg whites until nice and foamy. Process the frozen mixture and egg whites in a food processor until smooth and pale pink. Transfer the mixture to a metal pan, cover it, and let it freeze for around 6 hours until it's nice and firm. Scoop and serve!
