Here’s a super easy 4 Ingredient Lime Sorbet Recipe that will soon be one of your favorite cold summer treats.  Last week, we enjoyed the 4 Ingredient Watermelon Sorbet.  We polished it off so quickly, dad decided to make a fresh batch of sorbet for all of us for dessert last night. One of mom’s favorite flavors is lime. We took a trip to Aldi and dad located some limes on a great sale. Dad IS VERY frugal (sometimes more frugal than mom).

I was very anxious to try sorbet with lime flavor because I’m a big fan of lime as well. Sprite/any lemon lime soda is one of my favorite flavors of soda. I knew I was going to quickly become a fan of this 4 Ingredient Lime Sorbet Recipe. Sorbet is a great treat to cool off in the summer. Mom is always on the hunt for inexpensive cold and refreshing treats for all of us to enjoy. This lime sorbet recipe was both inexpensive and very refreshing.
