Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Orange Crush soda or any orange-flavored soda
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Combine Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, pour in the Orange Crush soda and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk them together until well combined.
  • Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for achieving that fluffy texture!
  • Fold the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the soda mixture. Be careful not to deflate the cream too much; you want to keep it light and airy.
  • Freeze: Once combined, pour the mixture into a lidded container and smooth the top. Place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until completely set.
  • Scoop and Serve: After it has frozen, scoop your luscious Orange Crush Sherbet into bowls or cones, and enjoy a taste of summer!
  • What to Serve Orange Crush Sherbet With:
  • Pair your Orange Crush Sherbet with a selection of delightful sides! For a fun dessert experience, try serving it alongside a slice of classic pound cake, where the citrus notes complement the buttery richness wonderfully. Alternatively, a scoop of this sherbet can top off a warm brownie or be enjoyed with fresh berries for a refreshing contrast. Consider pairing it with iced tea or lemonade for a casual summer get-together, and watch it turn a simple gathering into an unforgettable event!
  • Top Tips for Perfecting Orange Crush Sherbet:
  • Use Chilled Ingredients: For an even creamier texture, chill your heavy cream and mixing bowl before whipping.
  • Experiment with Flavors: While Orange Crush is delightful, feel free to experiment with other soda flavors like pineapple or grape for a unique twist!
  • Don't Rush the Freezing: Be patient and allow enough time for the sherbet to set in the freezer thoroughly; it’s well worth the wait!
  • Storing and Reheating Tips:
  • Storing your Orange Crush Sherbet is easy. Keep it in an airtight container in the freezer, where it will remain fresh for up to 2 weeks. If you have leftovers (which is rare, but possible!), make sure to tightly seal the container to prevent ice crystals from forming. When ready to enjoy again, simply scoop out the desired amount and return the container to the freezer. If it’s too hard to scoop, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before digging in!
  • Now that you’ve mastered the art of making Orange Crush Sherbet, it’s time to celebrate the exciting simplicity of this delicious treat. Share it with family and friends, or keep it all to yourself – we won’t judge! Enjoy!
