Make It Dairy-Free! – Use coconut whipped cream and coconut condensed milk for a vegan version.

FAQs
1. Can I use a different soda?
Yes! Try grape, strawberry, or lemon-lime soda for a fun twist.
2. How do I make this sherbet creamier?
Use half-and-half instead of soda for a richer, ice cream-like texture.
3. Can I make this with an ice cream maker?
Absolutely! Just churn according to your ice cream maker’s instructions for an ultra-smooth texture.
4. What’s the difference between sherbet and sorbet?
Sherbet contains dairy (like heavy cream), while sorbet is fruit-based with no dairy.

Let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping, or add 1 tablespoon of corn syrup to the mix for a softer texture.
