Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh fruit puree (e.g., orange, raspberry, or mango)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh fruit puree, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. This may take about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding a little more sugar if necessary, or add more lemon juice for additional tanginess.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-30 minutes.
Once the sherbet reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it into an airtight, freezer-safe container.
Freeze the sherbet for an additional 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up before serving.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade sherbet!
