Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 cup fresh or thawed raspberries
- 1 cup fresh lime juice or mostly lime with a splash of lemon
- 1½ cups whole milk or full-fat coconut milk divided
- 6-9 tbsp sugar divided and adjusted to taste
- 3 pinches sea salt divided
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Make three colored bases: - Orange: whisk orange juice, milk, sugar, and salt until sugar dissolves. Chill until very cold. - Raspberry: mix raspberries with milk and sugar, Chill until very cold. Adjust sweetness as needed. - Lime: whisk lime juice, milk and sugar, Chill until very cold.
- Layer and freeze: - Pour a third of the orange base into the loaf pan to form the bottom layer. - Freeze 20–30 minutes until the layer is set but not hard. - Add a layer of raspberry base, gently smoothing. Freeze 20–30 minutes. - Add lime base on top. Freeze 20–30 minutes. - If you want a marbled effect instead of sharp layers, you can dollop all three in the pan and swirl with a knife a few times before the first freeze.
- Marble or smooth and freeze: - After layering, cover and freeze for 3–4 hours, checking every 60–90 minutes and giving a quick stir to break up ice crystals if needed.
- Serve: - Let sit 5–10 minutes at room temperature for easier scooping. Slice and scoop into bowls or cones.
Notes
- For dairy-free: use full-fat coconut milk or cashew milk (full-fat) to get creaminess. The flavor will be lighter.
- If you prefer sweeter sherbet, adjust sugar in each color to taste before chilling.
- If you don’t want to layer, you can swirl the three colored mixtures together in the final freeze for a rainbow marbled look.
- Use ripe, flavorful fruits for the best taste; you can adjust acidity with a pinch of sugar if needed.
