Preparation Steps

• Put the lemon juice and water in a bowl and whiz briefly with a hand-held blender to combine.
• Put the carob bean powder in a separate bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the sugar and mix together well.
• Gradually add the carob powder and sugar mixture to the lemon juice mixture, blending all the while, until well combined.
• Add the rest of the sugar and blend to incorporate, then transfer to a suitable lidded container and leave to cool in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture drops to 4°C.
• Turn on your gelato maker so it begins the freezing process.
• Pour the mixture into your gelato maker.
• Once the mixture reaches –4°C (25°F) (this should take about 30-40 minutes) detach the canister or scoop the sorbetto into a pre-cooled lidded container.
• Transfer to the freezer and leave for at least 1 hour to harden before serving.
