How to Make Sherbet

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (3 ounce) package of flavored gelatin crystals with 1 cup of cold water. Stir until the crystals are completely dissolved.
  2. Add 1 cup of sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream or milk for extra richness and creaminess. (Optional: For a lighter sherbet, omit the cream).
  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
  5. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the sherbet is solid. Stir halfway through to break up any ice crystals.
  6. Let the sherbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving. Enjoy!
