Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, granulated sugar, and orange zest. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until all components are well combined.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes until the sherbet reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
Once churned, transfer the sherbet to an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze the sherbet in the freezer for 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up completely.
Serve scooped into bowls or cones, and enjoy this delicious homemade orange sherbet!
