I came across this interesting recipe for Orange Sherbet and knew I had to try it. An ice cream maker was used in this recipe, although you don’t need one. This dessert was a huge hit with my kids.Ice cream and sherbet are each frozen desserts, however orange sherbet is a frozen dessert that falls someplace in between. Compared to sorbet, which does not contain dairy, it has less fat than ice cream but contains some kind of dairy product.Although sorbet is creamier than sorbet, it’s far much less creamy than ice cream. They are usually fruit-flavored, in this case orange, and usually sweet.
I using orange soda in my sherbet recipe because it adds flavor & sweetness to the sherbet. You are free to use any flavor of soda you like, including lemon-lime, grape, strawberry, and so on. Making root beer sherbet sounds great to me!
*ingredients:
°2 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
°1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
+Optional: orange zest or orange slices for garnish
*Directions:
If desired, you can add a teaspoon of orange peel to enhance the flavor of the orange. Add it to the mixture.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe bowl or loaf pan. Make sure the container is large enough to hold the mixture with some room for expansion.
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Put it in the freezer.
Allow the sorbet mixture to solidify for at least 6 hours, or until it reaches a firm consistency. You can also leave it overnight.
Note: Sorbet can become quite solid after prolonged freezing. If it’s too stiff, you can leave it at room temperature for a few minutes to soften it up before softening it. You can also move the sorbet to the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to make it easier to prepare.
Enjoy !
