Making a 2-ingredient orange sherbet is indeed a fun and easy process. Sherbet is a frozen dessert that falls somewhere between ice cream and sorbet. For this recipe, you’ll only need two main ingredients: orange juice and sweetened condensed milk. Here’s how you can prepare it:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought, but avoid pulp)
- 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
Instructions:
- Chill the Ingredients: Make sure your orange juice is chilled before you start. You can either buy pre-chilled orange juice or put fresh orange juice in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
- Mixing the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chilled orange juice and the sweetened condensed milk. You can use a whisk or an electric mixer to blend the two ingredients together. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid. A shallow, flat container works well, as it will freeze faster and be easier to scoop. Alternatively, you can use an ice cream maker if you have one.
- Freezing Time: Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until it becomes firm. It’s a good idea to check on it after about 2 hours and give it a gentle stir to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
- Serving: Once the sherbet is fully frozen and has the desired consistency, it’s ready to serve. Scoop the orange sherbet into bowls or cones and enjoy!
Tips:
- You can customize the flavor by using different fruit juices instead of orange juice. Try using lemon, lime, raspberry, or any other fruit juice you like.
- If you want a creamier texture, you can replace some or all of the orange juice with heavy cream or half-and-half. However, remember that this will make it a 3-ingredient recipe instead of 2.
- Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the flavor of the sherbet.
Now you have a simple and delightful 2-ingredient orange sherbet ready to enjoy on a hot day or whenever you’re in the mood for a refreshing frozen treat!
