Lemon thyme sorbet

Because lemon sorbet alone is ultimately not very original, lemon thyme sorbet will greatly surprise your guests at the end of a meal, while being very easy to make! For four people, you will need:

• One liter of water
• 300 grams of sugar
• A bunch of lemon thyme
• juice of a lemon

The first step is to boil the water and add the lemon thyme to it. Turn off the heat and let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Then filter everything. For the next step, add the 300 grams of sugar, then cook everything using a syrup scale until it reaches a temperature of 30 ° C. When it's done, all you have to do is add the lemon juice and put everything in your Thomson Sorbet & Co THIC47923 ice cream maker for 30 minutes, to have a fresh and original dessert, ready to taste!

Pear and chocolate ice cream

While we know the pear and chocolate tart, we are less familiar with ice cream, which offers the same flavor. It’s pretty easy to get, whether or not you have an ice cream maker! To succeed, and for four people, you need:

• 300 grams of peeled pears, seeded and cut into pieces
• 25 centiliters of liquid cream
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 90 grams of sugar
• 3 egg yolks
• 50 grams of crushed dark chocolate

To start, put the pears, lemon juice and 45 grams of sugar in a Thomson CREA CHEF XL food processor positioned in Blender>mode, and transform them into a puree. Then, in a bowl, put the egg yolks and the rest of the sugar, except for a tablespoon which you reserve for later. Use a mixer to obtain a foamy mixture, then transfer it to the food processor and add the rest of the sugar and the liquid cream: use the whisk to transform this mixture into whipped cream.

Then mix the cream obtained with the pear puree. Once you have obtained a homogeneous result, you can add the chocolate and finish mixing by hand. When you are satisfied with the result, you can use the ice cream maker to freeze it all, or put it in a freezer compartment: allow 4 to 5 hours for the ice cream to set properly.

Vanilla milkshake

Simple and effective, the vanilla milkshake also has the advantage of being able to be made all year round. It requires very few ingredients. For four people, you will need:

When this is the case, all you have to do is pour the preparation into glasses, to enjoy the freshness of the drink immediately.

Savory avocado sorbet

If guacamole is a particularly popular appetizer in summer, why not replace it with a very original alternative, namely a savory avocado sorbet? You can even add a little hot pepper sauce to the result, if you wish. To make this recipe for four people, you will need:

• One and a half avocado
• One and a half cucumber
• A small bunch of fresh coriander
• The juice of a lime
• Optionally, a jalapeno pepper or tabasco (or similar)

To start, cut the flesh of the avocados into small pieces, do the same with the cucumber after having peeled it. Put the result in your Thomson blender, add the chopped coriander and lemon juice, and blend until you get a creamy result. It is important to taste and possibly adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt, for example, until you get a mixture to your liking. Once this is the case, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker for an hour of preparation, then transfer the result to a container and put it in the freezer at least two hours before serving. When ready to serve, you can offer a little spicy seasoning to your guests!
