Orange Crush Sherbet
Made with Orange Crush soda, sweetened condensed milk, and fluffy whipped cream, this recipe is super simple, quick to prepare, and guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Orange Crush soda or any orange-flavored soda
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for enhanced flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Base
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Orange Crush soda and sweetened condensed milk.
- Stir until well blended and smooth.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange mixture, being careful not to deflate it.
- If using, stir in vanilla extract for an extra depth of flavor.
Step 3: Freeze the Sherbet
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- For the best texture, stir the sherbet every hour for the first 2-3 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
- Scoop the sherbet into bowls or cones.
- Optionally, top with orange zest or a drizzle of extra soda for a fizzy touch.
- Enjoy this refreshing, creamy treat!
Notes
- For a Richer Flavor – Substitute half of the soda with freshly squeezed orange juice for a more natural taste.
- Avoid Ice Crystals – Stirring the mixture every hour during the first 2-3 hours helps keep it smooth.
- Want a Swirled Effect? – Add a few drops of orange food coloring for a more vibrant look!
- Make It Dairy-Free! – Use coconut whipped cream and coconut condensed milk for a vegan version.
- For Extra Fun – Fold in chopped candied oranges, mini marshmallows, or crushed vanilla wafers.
