This simple homemade Orange Sherbet recipe has only 4 ingredients and tastes even better than you remember!

I know it's not summer quite yet. We seem to be having some weird cold front this week, and we got some snow this morning. I mean, it's almost April already, and we are still getting snow; it's crazy. Anyways our girls love ice cream, but our youngest has issues with too much dairy in her diet, so we tend to buy the dairy-free versions that she likes (usually Nadamoo). Unfortunately, we can't get it as easy where we are now, so we've been having fun and experimenting with different recipes to make her some fun treats at home.

Does this really taste like the store-bought version?

Yes! I promise it does. Our oldest even proclaims it tastes better than the store-bought kind.

Does orange sherbet have dairy?

The base recipe for this one does, but I have had luck subbing out the traditional milk with coconut milk (the drinking kind not from a can). You can try to sub in your favorite dairy-free milk, but I have only tried coconut milk since it's our daughter's favorite.
