Orange Crush Sherbet (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Sherbet Base
01 -
2 cups Orange Crush soda (or any orange-flavored soda)
02 -
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
03 -
2 cups heavy whipping cream
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for enhanced flavor)
→ Optional Garnishes
05 -
Fresh orange zest
06 -
Extra Orange Crush soda for drizzling
07 -
Candied orange pieces
08 -
Mini marshmallows
09 -
Crushed vanilla wafers
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Orange Crush soda and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until well blended and smooth.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. If using vanilla extract, add it to the cream while whipping.
03 -
Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange soda mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Fold until just combined and no streaks remain.
04 -
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
05 -
For the best texture, stir the sherbet every hour for the first 2-3 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming. This will create a smoother sherbet.
06 -
Scoop the sherbet into bowls or cones. If desired, garnish with orange zest, a drizzle of extra soda, or other optional toppings.
# Notes:
01 -
For a richer flavor, substitute half of the soda with freshly squeezed orange juice.
02 -
Add a few drops of orange food coloring for a more vibrant, swirled effect.
03 -
This recipe can be made dairy-free by using coconut whipped cream and coconut condensed milk.
04 -
Stirring periodically during freezing helps prevent ice crystals and creates a smoother texture.
