Orange Sherbet

April 1, 2015 By Lokness 14 Comments

Orange Sherbet 2| The Missing Lokness

Time for some ice cream! Oh… I mean SHERBET! So what is the difference between ice cream and sherbet? Ice cream is creamy and thick. It mostly starts with an egg-based custard with tons of cream and milk. By law in the US, ice cream needs to contain no less than 10% milkfat. Sherbet is lighter than ice cream. It is a frozen dessert that combined fruit and milk or little cream. Fruity but still creamy at the same time.

I have made a few different ice cream before (Thai Tea Ice Cream, Roasted Strawberry and Buttermilk Ice Cream, Milk Chocolate Ice Cream), but this recipe has to be the easiest and fastest! There is no real cooking! Toss the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Then mix with milk and chill. Pour in the ice cream machine. There you have it! Sweet and slightly creamy with bright and fresh orange flavor. So much better than store bought one! It is also really good when served with vanilla ice cream. It is like orange creamsicle! 🙂

Before getting to the recipe, I want to talk about my ice cream machine. About 10 years ago, Bryan found this vintage Donvier ice cream maker hiding in his parents’ garage. We believe my mom-in-law got it before Bryan was even born. The machine maybe old, but it is in perfect condition. We have been using it ever since. Even though it is a manual machine, it is fun turning and seeing the transformation in front of our eyes. Donvier still sell the same ice cream maker nowadays with an updated look, you can get it on Amazon.

Orange Sherbet

1 quart

Ingredients:

–   6 ounces sugar

–   1½ tablespoon finely grated orange zest

–   ¼ teaspoon salt

–   2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (about 2½ pounds oranges)

–   1½ tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

–   1 teaspoon vanilla extract

–   1½ cup whole milk

Directions:

  1. In a food processor or blender, combine sugar, orange zest, salt, orange juice, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Process until the sugar has dissolved completely, about 1 minute.
  2. In an airtight container, add the orange mixture and whole milk. Combine with a spatula. Cover with a lid and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  3. Pour the cold mixture into the ice cream machine and follow the machine instruction. Once the ice cream is ready, transfer to an airtight container. Close with a lid. Freeze until firm, at least 3 hours. Scoop and serve.

Tips:

  1. We love serving this sherbet with vanilla ice cream. The combination tastes like orange creamsicle.
  2. The longer the sherbet sits in the freezer, it will be harder and icier. Remove the sherbet from freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 – 10 minutes before scooping.

    I love that little ice cream maker! So cute…I’m so glad it works perfectly so you can use it. I can see my son turning it. : ) You know..the ice cream places are opening back up here and I’ve got it on my mind. I need to start making batches soon. I’ve never made sherbet so definitely something to try. Have a great Easter weekend!

      That ice cream maker is great for family bonding. Everyone can take turn turning. Since you are stuck there for at least 30 minutes, you can chat and have fun together. Haha… That is what Bryan and I do. Your son can totally do it. Very fun!

      I love this sherbet. Very refreshing with the bright and fresh orange flavor. Enjoy your weekend as well! 😉

    This looks so refreshing, Lockness! Citrus is welcome any time of year! It always makes me think for spring and summer. 🙂 I don’t own an ice cream maker and don’t really have room to store another large electric appliance. Your hand cranked machine has me intrigued! How long did it take to crank this into sherbet?

      It is a really nice and cool frozen treat! It usually takes about 40 – 50 minutes. But I don’t turn it for the full 40 minutes. Spin for 1 – 2 minutes, then let it is sit for 4 – 5 minutes. Repeat. It is really fun watching the ice cream setting. 🙂

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & chewy laminated croissant bun w/ the taste of cinnamon & orange zest. This location just opened a couple weeks ago. It’s a luxury to have a bakery like this in the neighborhood. I know I’ll be stopping by there all the time. Thinking about their croissant, lemon tart, brownie & baguette already! @tartinepasadena @tartinebakery
