Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, sugar, orange zest, salt, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Slowly add the milk and heavy whipping cream to the mixture, whisking gently until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20–30 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor—avoid bottled juice.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute milk and cream with coconut or almond milk.
- You can experiment with other citrus fruits like lemon or lime for variation.
- Adding berries can create a mixed fruit twist to the sherbet.
