Make your own orange sherbet easily at home. It's a light, refreshing dessert that everyone will love.
2 c. freshly squeezed orange juice, from about 4-6 oranges
1 T. orange zest
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 c. whole milk (or half-and-half for a richer texture)
1/2 c. heavy cream
1 t. vanilla extract
pinch of salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together for a few minutes the orange juice, orange zest, and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Stir in the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt; mix until well combined. Cover the mixture.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled to help the flavors meld and make it easier to churn later.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker; churn, about 20-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to an airtight container.
Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
Served scooped into bowls or cones.
