How to Make Sorbet A L Orange Hotel Excelsior
- Combine orange juice, sugar, water, lemon juice, and orange zest in a medium saucepan.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and transfer the syrup to a bowl. Cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Pour the chilled syrup into shallow freezer-safe containers (such as baking dishes or ice cube trays). Freeze until the mixture is mostly frozen but still slightly mushy around the edges (about 2-3 hours).
- Transfer the partially frozen sorbet to a large bowl and beat with a whisk or electric mixer for 1 minute to break up ice crystals. Stir in the orange liqueur (if using).
- Return the mixture to the freezer containers. Freeze for another 2-3 hours, stirring every hour to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
- While the sorbet freezes, prepare the orange shells: Carefully cut the tops off of 6-8 oranges, reserving the caps. Scoop out the orange flesh, reserving some segments for garnish, if desired.
- Once the sorbet is completely frozen, fill each orange shell generously with sorbet, mounding slightly above the rim to create a dome shape.
- Place the orange caps back on top of the filled shells, allowing some sorbet to peek out from underneath.
- Return the filled oranges to the freezer until ready to serve (at least 30 minutes).
