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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Stir in the whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until all components are well combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Freeze the sherbet in the freezer for 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up completely.
Step 6
Serve scooped into bowls or cones, and enjoy this delicious homemade orange sherbet!
