Sherbet flavors list

Posted on September 10, 2011 by

Some of the most popular and most common sherbet flavors are not found in as many ice cream brands as they are found in sherbet mixes. The most common of the flavors of the frozen desert treat are lime and orange. However don’t be surprised to find flavors ranging from strawberry, raspberry, to lemon and even tropical flavors such as pineapple.

Is sherbet ice cream?
Well, the dictionary defines sherbet as:

“A frozen dessert made primarily of fruit juice, sugar, and water, and also containing milk, egg white, or gelatin”

So technically it is a relative of ice cream and not really a “true” ice cream in the traditional sense of the dairy desert.
