Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Orange Sherbet
In a large mixing bowl, combine 240ml (1 cup) of fresh orange juice with 120g (1/2 cup) of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Add in 240ml (1 cup) of heavy cream and 3ml (1/2 tsp) of orange extract; whisk until well combined. Add a few drops of orange food coloring if desired for a more vibrant hue. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for about 3-4 hours, stirring every hour to improve texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Raspberry Sherbet
In another large mixing bowl, combine 240ml (1 cup) of fresh raspberry puree with 120g (1/2 cup) of granulated sugar. Stir until well combined. Add 240ml (1 cup) of heavy cream and mix until the mixture is smooth. Add a few drops of red food coloring if a brighter color is desired. Transfer to the freezer-safe container and freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring every hour.
Step 3: Prepare the Lime Sherbet
In the third mixing bowl, mix 240ml (1 cup) of fresh lime juice with the final 120g (1/2 cup) of granulated sugar. Stir until fully dissolved. Incorporate 240ml (1 cup) of heavy cream and blend in well. Optional green food coloring can be added for a more intense color. Pour into the freezer container and freeze for approximately 3-4 hours, stirring the mixture hourly to ensure a creamy consistency.
Step 4: Assemble the Rainbow Sherbets
Once all flavors are semi-frozen and have reached a creamy consistency, scoop alternate spoonfuls into a clean, airtight freezer container. Gently swirl the layers together with a spatula for a marbled effect. Freeze the assembled mixture for an additional hour for the flavors to set and firm up.
