Ingredients
- 2 cups Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed orange juice and granulated sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 2
Add the whole milk, heavy cream, orange zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly, but do not overmix.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container (such as a metal or glass baking dish) and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
Step 4
Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for 1 hour.
Step 5
After 1 hour, remove the container and stir the mixture vigorously with a fork or whisk, breaking up any ice crystals that have started to form. This step helps ensure a smooth texture.
Step 6
Return the container to the freezer and repeat the stirring process every 30 minutes for the next 2-3 hours, or until the sherbet is fully frozen and creamy.
Step 7
When ready to serve, allow the sherbet to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and enjoy!
