Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol (or any powdered sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.0625 teaspoon Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, orange zest, and powdered erythritol. Stir well until the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Step 2
Add the heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the orange juice mixture. Whisk until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Taste the mixture to ensure the sweetness level is to your liking. Adjust by adding more powdered erythritol if needed.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This process usually takes 20-25 minutes.
Step 5
If you prefer a firmer consistency, transfer the churned sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours.
Step 6
Scoop and serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes after freezing for firmer scoops.
Step 7
Garnish with a sprinkle of orange zest, if desired, and enjoy your creamy, low-carb orange sherbet!
