Ingredients
Scale
- 360 milliliters (1.5 cups) heavy cream (double cream)
- 480 milliliters (2 cups) unsweetened almond milk
- 75 grams (0.75 cup) powdered monk fruit allulose blend
- 2 tbsps orange extract
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsps natural powdered orange food coloring (or 0.25 tsp if not natural; adjust to your liking)
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Mixture Preparation: Whisk liquid and powdered ingredients in a medium mixing bowl until achieving a velvety, lump-free consistency with uniform blending.
- Equipment Readiness: Pre-chill the ice cream maker’s churning bowl in the freezer for 24 hours to ensure optimal freezing performance.
- Churning Process: Pour the smooth mixture into the pre-frozen churning bowl, activate the machine, and allow churning for 20-25 minutes until reaching a soft-serve texture with rich, creamy potential.
- Freezing Stage: Transfer the partially frozen sherbet into an airtight, freezer-safe container using a spatula, spreading evenly and smoothing the surface for consistent freezing.
- Final Solidification: Position the container in the freezer’s coldest section, letting the sherbet set completely for 8-12 hours, which develops a deep, luxurious texture and enhances flavor intensity.
- Serving Technique: Remove the sherbet from the freezer 3-5 minutes before serving, allowing gentle thawing that facilitates effortless scooping and releases the full spectrum of delicate flavor profiles.
Notes
- Chill Equipment Thoroughly: Pre-freeze the ice cream maker’s churning bowl for a full 24 hours to guarantee optimal freezing performance and smoother sherbet texture.
- Mix Ingredients Completely: Whisk liquid and dry components until absolutely smooth, eliminating any potential lumps that could disrupt the sherbet’s creamy consistency.
- Patience Matters: Allow the sherbet to freeze for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to develop a rich, creamy texture that melts perfectly on the tongue.
- Serving Tip: Let the sherbet rest at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before scooping to enhance scoopability and release maximum flavor potential.
