Raspberry Lemonade Shaved Ice with Honeydew “Melon Balls”
Makes 8 servings
This shaved ice combines bright raspberry lemonade snow with sweet honeydew sorbet, served as rounded “melon ball” scoops. It’s a refreshing treat to beat the heat and score big on flavor.
Ingredients
For the Sorbet:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1¼ pounds honeydew cubes
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 1½ teaspoons corn syrup
For the Shaved Ice:
- Ice
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 can (10 ounces) pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
Preparation
For the Sorbet:
- Make simple syrup: Heat sugar and water in a 1½ quart saucepan over medium high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely.
- Combine simple syrup, honeydew, lime juice, and corn syrup in a blender in the order listed. Blend on High until completely smooth. Transfer to a container. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, or overnight.
- Turn your Cool Combo Ice Cream Maker and Snow Cone Machine on; pour the sorbet mixture into the Freezer Bowl. Mix until thickened, about 25 to 30 minutes. The sorbet will have a soft, slushy texture, similar to a freshly scooped Italian ice. Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours.
For the Shaved Ice:
- Place a bowl beneath the Crushing Assembly on the base of the unit. Turn the unit on. Feed the ice cubes through the Continuous-Feed Chute. Reserve.
- Place an empty bowl beneath the crushing assembly on the base of unit. Feed the frozen raspberries through the feed chute.
- Divide the shaved ice among serving cups, top with a generous amount of pink-lemonade concentrate, and finish with a sprinkling of frozen raspberries.
- Serve immediately with 1-ounce rounded scoops of honeydew sorbet.
