How to Make Creamy Lime Sherbet Or Orange If You Prefer

  1. In a large bowl, combine the lime juice (or orange juice, see Bev's review for orange variation), sweetened condensed milk, and lime zest (or orange zest).
  2. Whisk until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
  4. Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
  5. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm, stirring every hour for the first 3 hours to prevent large ice crystals from forming. Freezing time may vary based on your freezer.
