Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 liter orange soda
- 6 ounces (170 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Assemble the key ingredients: one liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of chilled orange soda and of sweetened condensed milk. Gather a spacious mixing bowl, a whisk, and either an ice cream maker or a freezer-safe baking dish.
- Gently cascade the orange soda into the mixing bowl, then gradually incorporate the sweetened condensed milk. Blend with a delicate hand to prevent excessive foam formation, ensuring a smooth, uniform mixture.
- For ice cream maker enthusiasts, transfer the liquid blend into the machine’s canister. Follow the manufacturer’s churning guidelines, typically 20-30 minutes, until the consistency resembles soft-serve gelato. For a more solidified texture, relocate the semi-frozen mixture to a sealed container and refrigerate for 2-4 additional hours.
- Without an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a wide, shallow freezer-safe pan. Allow the first freezing phase for one hour, then extract and thoroughly stir to disrupt emerging ice crystals. Repeat this interruption process every hour for 2-3 hours to maintain a creamy consistency.
- After the final freezing period of 6-8 hours, the sherbet should reach a perfectly scoopable density. If the dessert appears overly rigid, permit it to rest at ambient temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
- Serve in chilled bowls or cones, garnishing with optional orange zest or a mint leaf for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Prep this quick dessert in mere minutes with just two simple ingredients.
- Chilling the mixture thoroughly ensures a smoother, more delightful sherbet texture.
- Stirring periodically prevents large ice crystals from forming during the freezing process.
- Avoid over-mixing to maintain the light, airy consistency of the sherbet.
- Serving after a brief room temperature rest helps achieve the perfect scoopable texture.
