Make this refreshing summer sherbet without an ice cream maker. This easy homemade sherbet recipe combines bright raspberry and tart lemonade for a light and fruity chilled treat perfect for warm weather.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. If using fresh raspberries, gently mash them in a bowl with a fork until slightly broken down. If using frozen, thaw them slightly first.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until combined.
  3. In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the raspberry-lemonade mixture to lighten it.
  5. Carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix; you want to keep the air in the mixture.
  6. Gently fold in the mashed raspberries. If the mixture seems too thick, add the 1/4 cup of water to reach a slightly softer consistency.
  7. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe loaf pan or airtight container.
  8. Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the sherbet to prevent ice crystals.
  9. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. This is a great make ahead summer dessert.
  10. Let the sherbet sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

  • For a more intense raspberry flavor, you can simmer the raspberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar for 5 minutes, then cool completely before mashing.
  • This recipe is a wonderful tropical summer frozen yogurt alternative if you substitute lime juice for some of the lemon juice.
  • If you do not have heavy cream, you can substitute an equal amount of frozen whipped topping (thawed), though the texture will be slightly less rich.
