Tart and tangy, Lemon Buttermilk Sherbet is cool, creamy and refreshing. If you love lemons, this simple 4 ingredient dessert is for you!
I want to know how many of you can’t pass a thrift store without taking a peek inside? We have that problem {we = me + my husband}. Seriously, we can’t help it. Awhile back a Goodwill Boutique opened up near us, it’s a smaller version of a Goodwill store with a slightly different variety of goods. On our first trip there we spied this adorable vintage table…price tag $99. We didn’t really need it, so I talked him out of it 🙂 Fast forward two weeks later, my sister and I stop by while she’s in town. Sitting right inside the back door, the very same table we needed marked down to $20. Sold! I called my husband at work and we loaded it up on his lunch break. Right now it’s in our garage, so I used it for taking the pictures of this creamy Lemon Sherbet. I’m super in love with the black and white star burst design on the table top – it’s so vintage!!
On a hot day, you’ll be hoping you have some of this sherbet hanging out in your freezer. It’s both tart from the lemons and tangy from the buttermilk and makes a super backdrop for fresh sweet berries. It’s really a cinch to make, although you need some time to chill the lemon syrup and then, of course, actually freeze it. But it won’t be long before you’re in a lemon lover’s heaven 😉

Oh my gosh could this be any easier?! I don’t think I’ve ever had or made ice cream using buttermilk. I’m so intrigued now!

I love that super simple ingredient list and now that I’m racking my brain, I can’t ever recall those 2 favorite flavors of mine together — lemon + buttermilk. What a tragedy! Time to change that 😉
