Directions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Make sure your orange juice is cold. If you’re using fresh-squeezed juice, strain it to remove any pulp for a smoother texture.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange juice and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  3. Freeze the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or a freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer.
  4. Stir Occasionally: For the first 3-4 hours, stir the mixture every 30 minutes to break up any ice crystals and ensure a smooth texture. This step is important for achieving a creamy sherbet.
  5. Freeze Until Firm: After the initial stirring period, allow the sherbet to freeze completely, about 4-6 more hours or overnight.
  6. Serve: Once the sherbet is firm, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy! If it’s too hard to scoop, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

Tips and Shortcuts

  • Quick Chill: If you’re in a hurry, use chilled orange juice and sweetened condensed milk to speed up the freezing process.

  • Serving Ideas: Serve the sherbet with fresh fruit, a dollop of whipped cream, or in a float with lemon-lime soda for a fun twist.

Recipe Swaps and Variations

  • Other Citrus Fruits: Try this recipe with lemon, lime, or grapefruit juice for different flavors.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use sweetened condensed coconut milk for a dairy-free version of this sherbet.
  • Add-ins: Stir in mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts before freezing for added texture and flavor.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover sherbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes before serving if it becomes too hard.
