Description
A creamy and tangy frozen dessert made with just orange soda and sweetened condensed milk. This Orange Sherbet is smooth, refreshing, and easy to make—no special equipment required.
Ingredients
- 2 liters orange soda
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3–5 drops orange gel food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the orange soda into a large mixing bowl and let the carbonation settle completely.
- Slowly add sweetened condensed milk and food coloring (if using), stirring gently until fully combined. Skim off any foam.
- For electric churn method: Pour mixture into ice cream maker and churn for 25–30 minutes until thickened. Transfer to loaf pans, cover, and freeze for 4 hours before serving.
- For no-churn method: Divide into two loaf pans and freeze. Stir every 30 minutes for 2 hours to break up ice crystals. Then freeze for another 6 hours or until fully set.
- Scoop and serve chilled. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving if too firm.
Notes
- Use sugar-free soda and light condensed milk for a lighter version.
- Orange gel coloring is optional—add for a more vibrant sherbet.
- Letting the soda settle reduces excess foam and improves texture.
- Don’t substitute condensed milk—evaporated milk won’t yield the same result.
