Ingredients
2cups of fresh fruit juice (orange, lemon, or any preferred flavor)
1cup of sugar
2cups of heavy cream or coconut cream (for a dairy-free option)
1tbsp of lemon juice (for added tanginess)
1tsp of vanilla extract
Instructions
Mix Fruit Juice and Sugar: In a bowl, combine the fruit juice with sugar, stirring until fully dissolved. If desired, gently heat the juice to help dissolve the sugar, then let it cool completely.
Add Cream and Flavors: Pour in the heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option), lemon juice, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and well combined.
Freeze and Blend: Pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze for about 1 hour. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes for the next 3-4 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming. Alternatively, if you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture in and churn according to the machine's instructions until creamy.
Final Freeze: After churning or manual stirring, transfer the sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours or until firm.
Serve: Scoop into bowls, garnish with fresh fruit, and enjoy!
