Homemade Orange Sherbet 

Ingredients

• 2 cups freshly-squeezed orange juice
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup milk

Steps to Make It

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups freshly-squeezed orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 2/3 cup of the sugar until the sugar has dissolved.
3. In a separate bowl, use a whisk or hand mixer to whip 1/2 cup heavy cream and the remaining 1/3 cup sugar until the cream is thick and forms soft peaks.
4. Stir 1/2 cup milk into the orange mixture.
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange mixture.
6. Refrigerate the sherbet base for at least 1 hour until chilled. Churn according to the directions for your ice-cream maker.
7. The churned sherbet will have the texture of soft-serve ice cream. Freeze the sherbet in an airtight plastic container for a firmer texture or if you do not plan on eating it right away. Enjoy.
