Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh orange juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 orange
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh orange juice, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to chill.
- Freeze: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for about 1 hour, then stir vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes until fully frozen.
- Serve: Once the sherbet is firm, scoop it into serving cups. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.
