Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups orange soda Make sure to use fresh orange soda for optimal flavor and texture.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk Agave syrup can be used for a vegan option.
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest This elevates the flavor; do not skip it!
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Adjust according to taste.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients and measure them out.
  • In a large bowl, combine the orange soda, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, orange zest, and lemon juice.
  • Whisk until the mixture is well blended and has a uniform orange color.
  • Taste the mixture and adjust the flavoring if desired, adding more lemon juice or zest.

Freezing

  • Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least four hours.
  • Check the consistency; it should be firm but scoopable.
  • Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes if too hard before scooping.

Serving

  • Scoop the sherbet into bowls and serve with optional toppings like whipped cream, fruit slices, or sprinkles.
  • If there are leftovers, store them in an airtight container.

Notes

For best results, store in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Can be kept for up to two weeks.
