EASY ORANGE SHERBET
Quick & Easy Orange Sherbet recipe made with just 2 ingredients! Sweet Orange Sherbet perfect for a hot summer day.
I came across this fun recipe for Orange Sherbet that I knew I had to try. Just TWO ingredients! I used an ice cream maker but you certainly don’t have to. My kids went crazy over this tasty treat.What is orange sherbet?
Orange sherbet is a frozen dessert that’s half way between ice cream and sorbet. It has less fat than ice cream, but contains some type of dairy, unlike sorbet, which is dairy free. Sherbet is creamier than sorbet but it’s less creamy than ice cream. It’s usually fruit flavored, in this case, orange.
Ingredients needed for Sherbet
To make this simple recipe you just need 2 items- orange soda and sweetened condensed milk. That’s it! If you’d like to make your own condensed milk, we have a recipe for that too! See the homemade condensed milk recipe here.
How to make Orange Sherbet
This recipe for sherbet couldn’t be easier! All you do is combine the orange soda and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl. Stir until combined. If you’re using an ice cream maker, pour mixture into it now and begin churning. The air bubbles in the soda will be stirred out and the liquid will condense. Once it’s partially frozen, transfer to a bread pan and freeze until solid. Enjoy!
Making Sherbet with Soda Pop
I use orange soda to make this sherbet recipe as it adds flavor and sweetener. You’re welcome to use any flavor of soda you’d like- lemon lime, grape, strawberry, etc. I think making a root beer sherbet sounds delicious!
Do you need an ice cream maker to make sherbet?
I used a small 1 liter ice cream maker to make this sherbet but I truly don’t feel like it’s necessary. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, I suggest freezing the sherbet in a bread pan, then stirring the sherbet every 2 hours so that you can achieve a slushier consistency.
How long to freeze sherbet
It takes about 8 hours for orange sherbet to fully freeze. You’re welcome to enjoy it before then, but just know it will have a softer and slushier consistency. I like to make this recipe in the morning, then stir the sherbet several times throughout the day, then enjoy it as a treat after dinner.
Does sherbet have dairy in it?
Yes, sherbet does contain dairy. This recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk instead of heavy cream. Sorbet is a frozen dessert that does not have dairy in it.
How to store homemade sherbet
I like to store sherbet in a bread pan covered to be airtight. The bread pan helps the sherbet to freeze faster and more uniformly. Once the sherbet is frozen, you can transfer it to a better airtight container for more long term storage.
How long does Sherbet stay fresh?
If stored in an airtight container, sherbet will stay fresh tasting for up to 1 month in the freezer.
