Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh orange juice (about 45 large oranges)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Squeeze fresh oranges to obtain 2 cups of orange juice. Measure out sugar and heavy cream.
  2. Blend Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh orange juice, granulated sugar, and heavy cream. Blend on high speed until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Freeze the Sherbet: Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container and cover it with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer and allow it to freeze until firm, approximately 4 to 6 hours.
  4. Serve: Before serving, let the sherbet sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing citrus dessert.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, stir the sherbet every hour during the freezing process to break up ice crystals.
  • Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor; bottled juice may result in a less vibrant taste.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your oranges and personal preference.
  • If you want a lighter sherbet, substitute half of the heavy cream with whole milk.
