Ingredients

Scale

Base:

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Raspberry Mixture:

  • 8 ounces raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Orange Mixture:

  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • Orange food coloring

Lime Mixture:

  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • Green food coloring

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a saucepan, combine cream, milk, and 1 cup of sugar over medium heat until sugar is dissolved (5-7 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and cool completely.
  2. Make the Raspberry Mixture: Blend raspberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar, then strain through a fine mesh sieve.
  3. Churn the Base: Pour the cooled base into an ice cream maker and churn until it reaches a soft serve consistency.
  4. Create the Flavored Mixtures: Divide the base into three parts. Mix one part with orange juice and orange food coloring, another part with lime juice and green food coloring.
  5. Layer and Freeze: Layer the raspberry, lime, and orange mixtures in a container, alternating between flavors. Freeze for 4-6 hours until the sherbet is firm.

Notes

  • You can customize the fruit flavors by using your favorite fruits or juices.
  • For a creamier texture, let the sherbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
