How to Make Freezer Orange Sherbet

  1. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin over 1 tablespoon of cold water in a small bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups of orange juice and ½ cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm (approximately 100°F).
  4. Pour the orange mixture into an 8x8 inch glass or ceramic dish.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming. Place in the freezer until partially frozen and slushy, approximately 2 hours.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange slush using a whisk or electric mixer until no white streaks remain.
  7. Return the mixture to the freezer, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 2 more hours, or until firm.
  8. If the sherbet separates during freezing, remove from freezer and gently stir until smooth before returning to the freezer.
