lil carb Cherry Lime Sherbert
1 packet Sugar Free Cherry Jell-O
3/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup lime flavored seltzer water
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp lime zest, plus some for garnish
Juice of 1/2 a lime
1 1/2 cups ice cubes- about 12-13 ice cubes

Warm up water in the microwave on high for 45 seconds.
Add the Jell-O packet and stir until the Jell-O dissolves.
Next add in the seltzer water and the heavy cream and stir.
Then add in the juice * and zest of the lime.
*At this point you can add in the zest and the blender will blend it into tiny pieces.
OR
you can fold in the zest after you blend for large pieces of zest throughout the sorbet.
In a Nutribullet or blender add in the ice and the Jell-O mixture.
Blend for 20 seconds.
Transfer to a tuberware container and freeze for several hours or overnight.
When you are ready to eat, let it sit at room temperature for 25 minutes and it should scoop out very nicely. YUMMM!
ENJOY!
