Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol (or any powdered sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.0625 teaspoon Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, orange zest, and powdered erythritol. Stir well until the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Add the heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the orange juice mixture. Whisk until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Taste the mixture to ensure the sweetness level is to your liking. Adjust by adding more powdered erythritol if needed.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This process usually takes 20-25 minutes.
If you prefer a firmer consistency, transfer the churned sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours.
Scoop and serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes after freezing for firmer scoops.
Garnish with a sprinkle of orange zest, if desired, and enjoy your creamy, low-carb orange sherbet!
