Sorbet Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup very hot tap water into a glass bowl. Place 2 large serving spoons in the bowl to warm them. Uncover sorbet and let stand 5 minutes. Set out small dessert dishes or bowls. Using the spoons, scooping across the surface of the sorbets, roll sorbet into heaping, oblong scoops resembling eggs. Place an egg shaped scoop of each flavor sorbet on a nest of mixed fresh berries and kiwi slices. Serve.

Steps:

• Make the simple syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and salt. Cook, stirring, until the sugar and salt have dissolved, about 3 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.
• In a blender, purée the strawberries with the syrup and lemon juice until very smooth (you may need to divide this into several batches if your blender is not extra-large). If desired, strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Add the egg white, if using, during the last 2 to 3 minutes of churning. If making the ice cream cake , immediately pack into the pan. Or store, tightly covered, in the freezer.
• Variation: Strawberry-passion fruit sorbet:
• Cut 7 passion fruits in half and scoop the pulp and seeds into a blender. Blend for 20 seconds, then pass through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl, pushing on the solids with back of a wooden spoon. Measure out 6 tablespoons of this purée and combine with the strawberries, syrup, and lemon juice in a blender as directed above.
