We have the pleasure of owning an ice cream maker - which to be honest had remained totally unopened stored safely in the linen closet (aka kitchen gadget storage closet). But with the warm weather, brings out the cravings for a satisfying cold treat - so why not bust out the ice cream maker.
This one is surprisingly easy - there are canisters that are pre-frozen that just set on a mechanical base and whir away. 20-25 min later the magic of ice cream occurs.
We decided to start the ice cream adventure with a simple orange sherbert. Sherbert is a bit "healthier" than a standard ice cream, as its made with just whole milk, juice concentrate, and a touch of sugar, whereas ice cream contains - yes - cream!
The recipe if you have an ice cream maker and want to replicate:
2 1/2 cups of whole milk
3/4 cups of frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 tblsp of sugar
Mix together, pour into ice cream maker and start! Easy!
We've also attempted a lime sherbet that turned out really well! I put the milk mixture in a food processor for a few seconds to make the mixture super creamy and I loved it! Next on the list to make is a raspberry sorbet. Cannot wait.
An easy and delicious way to start off the summer.
