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. 🙂

This Vancouver trip, we spent most of our time in This Vancouver trip, we spent most of our time in Richmond, British Colombia. It’s the city where the airport is located & right next to Vancouver. There is a huge Chinese community, so there’re many traditional Chinese food. One of the most memorable for me has to be this char siu & roasted duck w/ rice. Char siu had the perfect balance of meat & fat. I also got the soup of the day. It was very comforting & I finished the whole bowl. The atmosphere, the people & the food reminded me of Hong Kong. I’ll definitely come back next time! 

Tips: Many restaurants & food stalls in Richmond only take cash.
