This lychee raspberry sorbet is a refreshing and tangy treat that is perfect for a hot summer day. The lychees add a unique floral flavor, while the raspberries add a touch of sweetness and tartness. The maple syrup and lime juice help to balance out the flavors and give the sorbet a smooth and creamy texture.
I first had lychee raspberry sorbet at a Thai restaurant in New York City. I was immediately hooked on the unique flavor combination, and I knew I had to recreate it at home. After a few tries, I finally came up with a recipe that I was happy with. I have been making this sorbet for years now, and it is always a hit with my friends and family.
