Kool-Aid sherbet is a dream come true for kids and anyone who’s still a kid at heart. You can use your favorite Kool-Aid flavor, or even theme the colors to match a party or holiday. Whatever you choose, it’ll be a sugary delight that keeps you cool and refreshed.
2. Cherry Sherbet
Cherries are one of my absolute favorite fruits, and I’ve never spotted cherry sherbet in any store before. You have to make this one at home because it’s that good. This festive dessert is wonderful any time of year, but the color makes it especially lovely for a holiday table.
3. Coconut Sherbet
This coconut sherbet will whisk you away to a tropical vacation with every single spoonful. If you love coconut flavors, you absolutely have to make this creamy dessert.
I honestly think it’s the best vegan ice cream out there, and it’s simply heavenly. Coconut milk, coconut cream, coconut water, and sugar come together to create a little island paradise you won’t want to miss.
4. 5-Minute Strawberry Pineapple Sherbet
Strawberry pineapple sherbet that’s quick, easy, and healthy? I am SO in.
This recipe is simple but surprisingly delicious and good for you. With protein packed Greek yogurt, the bright strawberry and tart pineapple get a creamy makeover that you’re going to love.
5. 5 Ingredient Raspberry Peach Sherbet
Raspberry and peach are an incredible duo, and the flavors here are absolutely divine. With only five ingredients, this recipe is such a cinch to pull together. I would totally make this sherbet for a summer dinner party or to wrap up a fun game night with friends.
6. Rainbow Sherbet
Rainbow sherbet classic is made with orange, lime, and raspberry flavors all together. It might look complicated, but I promise it’s surprisingly easy and even better than any store bought version you’ve had. The tart lime, sweet raspberry, and citrusy orange blend together so perfectly.
7. 2 Ingredient Peach Sherbet
Peach sherbet with only two ingredients? It doesn’t get any easier or more delicious than this.
You don’t even need an ice cream machine because this is a no churn recipe. Just start with frozen peaches and you skip all the peeling and slicing work yourself. So simple, so good.
8. Lemon Sherbet
Lemon sherbet is another tangy, creamy dessert that’s irresistible no matter the season. Fresh lemon juice and sugar hang out together to create a super bright syrup.
Then you just add heavy cream and milk, freeze it, and you’re done. It’s seriously that easy.
9. Blood Orange Sorbet
When blood orange season hits, I run straight to the stores or farmer’s markets to grab them. This recipe really preserves the integrity of the oranges since all you need is blood orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar. The color is so gorgeous it shouldn’t be overlooked, and this sorbet is a fantastic way to show it off.
10. Lime Sherbet
Limes are fantastic when you want a treat that makes you pucker up in the best way. This creamy, sweet tart dessert is so palate pleasing and incredibly tasty.
You really can’t go wrong with fresh lime juice and zest. If you’re a sour candy lover, this sherbet will easily become a new favorite.
11. Tropical Sherbet Punch
I have distant memories of sherbet punch from those fancy parties my friends threw when I was a kid. I was so impressed that there was ice cream floating in our drinks that I still remember it clearly.
Tropical juices and bubbly ginger ale combine as the pineapple sherbet slowly melts into the mix. It’s as fun now as it was then.
12. Iced Coffee and Almond Sherbet
For a more grown up sherbet, the iced coffee and almond flavors in this dessert will have you wanting ice cream for breakfast. The hardest part is making or finding the best iced coffee you can, because the better the coffee, the better this recipe turns out. Totally worth the effort.
13. Blueberry Sherbet
When blueberry season rolls around, this sherbet is a must make in my kitchen. It’s cool, sweet, and absolutely perfect for hot summer days.
You don’t see blueberry sherbet in grocery stores very often, so making it at home feels extra special. The heavy cream and yogurt make it incredibly creamy, and the blueberry flavor shines through beautifully.
14. Orange Sherbet
This orange sherbet nails that sweet and tangy balance, and it’s so refreshing you’ll want it all summer long. I use orange juice that’s either freshly squeezed or natural with no added sugar, because the sugar in the recipe is already plenty. Any more sweetness would tip this over into too sweet territory, and nobody wants that.
15. Raspberry Sherbet
Raspberries are my absolute favorite fruit, so it’s no surprise I’m completely smitten with this sherbet. Coconut milk makes it vegan and brings a lovely tropical vibe that pairs beautifully with the fresh raspberries. The color is a gorgeous bright pink, and any fruity dessert lover is going to be head over heels for this one.
16. No-Churn Hibiscus Sherbet
Hibiscus is such a wonderful flavor, and if you’ve never tried it, now is the time. Sweetened condensed milk takes the churning out of this process, so it’s super easy to make. Dried hibiscus flowers give a subtle floral note, while ginger adds a little spice and lime brings a touch of tartness.
17. Homemade Strawberry Sherbet
Strawberry sherbet is such a classic, and giving it that homemade touch makes it even better. If you’re hunting for a spring or summer treat that everyone will adore, this is the one.
I mean, who can resist that fresh strawberry flavor? Kids and adults alike go crazy for this sweet, creamy dessert.
