No-Churn Rainbow Sherbet Ice Cream
Homemade rainbow sherbet ice cream made with simple, wholesome ingredients, requires no ice cream maker, and is dairy-free.
Ingredients
Lime Sherbet
- 3 cups seedless frozen green grapes
- zest of 1 lime + 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
- 6 tablespoons dairy-free milk of choice I used oat milk
Raspberry Sherbet
- 3 cups frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
- ½ cup dairy-free milk of choice
Orange Sherbet
- 3 cups frozen mango
- zest of 1 orange + 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
- ½ cup dairy-free milk of choice
Instructions
- Place washed and dried green grapes in a single layer on a sheet pan. Freeze for 2 hours or until completely frozen.
- Blend the frozen green grapes, lime zest, lime juice, granulated sugar, and milk of choice in a food processor until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Once blended, transfer the puree to a 9x5 loaf pan or airtight container. Store in the freezer while you make the next layer.
- Blend the frozen raspberries, granulated sugar, and milk of choice in a food processor until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Once blended, transfer the raspberry puree on top of the lime layer and store it in the freezer while you make the last layer.
- Blend the frozen mangoes, orange zest, orange juice, granulated sugar, and milk of choice in a food processor until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Once smooth, transfer it on top of the raspberry layer.
- Use a butter knife or something similar to swirl the flavors together for the rainbow effect.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a tightly sealed lid if using an airtight container. Freeze until solid, about 2-3 hours. When ready to serve, let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Avoid storing it in the door of your freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Make It Your Way: Substitutions & Variations
No green grapes? - to make the green layer, you can another green fruit such as honeydew melon, kiwi fruit, or avocados. If using avocados, I recommend making an avocado shake base.
No frozen mangoes? - use frozen pineapple for a slightly different flavor and color.
No organic cane sugar? - use dairy free sweetened condensed milk instead. Or regular sweetened condensed milk if not dairy-free.
No lime? - use lemon zest and lemon juice.
No oat milk? - use any creamy milk of your choosing.
Not dairy free? - use whole or 2% milk.
Make rainbow sherbet popsicles - once swirled, transfer the sherbet into popsicle molds and freeze until solid.
