Raspberry Sherbet

Sherbet. We don’t eat enough of it if you ask me. I mean, I remember eating it as a kid in crazy colors, but then I kind of forgot about it for many years. It’s such a perfect and easy frozen dessert to make though! Sherbet is basically the middle child between rich and creamy ice cream and icy sorbet. No eggs or heavy cream required, just some fresh fruit, milk, sugar, and a pinch of lemon juice. This sherbet is so perfect for a light summer dessert!

Raspberry Sherbet

I used about 2 cups of fresh raspberries in this recipe and while I can certainly taste the raspberry in this sherbet, I wouldn’t have minded even more raspberry flavor, so in the recipe, you can add more or less raspberries depending on how strong you want the flavor to be.

Oh, and can we talk about the amazing and dreamy color of this sherbet? I am madly in love with this gorgeous pink color. It just makes me happy!
