Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz (170 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 liter (33.8 fl oz) orange soda
Instructions
- Preparation: Chill orange soda and sweetened condensed milk. Secure a mixing bowl, whisk, and freezing vessel (ice cream maker or freezer-safe dish).
- Blending: Delicately pour orange soda into the mixing bowl, then softly integrate sweetened condensed milk. Whisk gently to prevent excessive foaming, creating a silky, homogeneous liquid.
- Churning Technique:
- Ice Cream Maker Method: Transfer mixture to machine’s canister and churn according to manufacturer’s specifications (approximately 20-30 minutes) until achieving a soft-serve consistency.
- Freezer Method: Pour into a wide, shallow pan. Freeze for one hour, then vigorously stir to interrupt crystal formation. Repeat stirring every hour for 2-3 hours.
- Final Freezing: Allow mixture to solidify for 6-8 hours, developing a perfectly scoopable texture. If overly firm, let rest at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften.
- Presentation: Scoop into chilled serving vessels. Optionally embellish with delicate orange zest or a fresh mint leaf for an elevated visual appeal.
Notes
- Chill Ingredients First: Ensure orange soda and condensed milk are thoroughly refrigerated before mixing to achieve optimal texture and faster freezing.
- Prevent Ice Crystals: Frequent stirring during freezing prevents large ice crystals, guaranteeing a smooth, creamy sherbet texture.
- Temperature Matters: Let sherbet sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before serving to soften slightly and improve scoopability.
- Equipment Options: Use an ice cream maker for faster results, but a freezer-safe dish works perfectly as an alternative method with more manual effort.
