Why does this 2 ingredient sherbet work?
This two-ingredient orange sherbet recipe works due to a combination of science and simplicity. Let's break down the reasons why this recipe is successful:

Sweetened Condensed Milk: Sweetened condensed milk is a key ingredient in this recipe because of its creamy and rich texture. It is made by removing most of the water content from milk and adding sugar, resulting in a thick and sweet mixture. When frozen, it forms a smooth and creamy base for the sherbet, giving it a velvety consistency.

Orange Soda: Orange soda provides the main flavor and sweetness for the sherbet. The carbonation in the soda helps give the sherbet a lighter and fluffier texture. When combined with the sweetened condensed milk, the carbon dioxide bubbles in the soda create tiny air pockets throughout the mixture, resulting in a soft and airy frozen dessert.

Freezing Process: Freezing the mixture of sweetened condensed milk and orange soda solidifies the liquid and incorporates the air trapped by the carbonation. During the freezing process, the water in the soda and milk forms ice crystals, while the sugar and fat in the sweetened condensed milk lower the freezing point, preventing the sherbet from becoming rock-hard. The combination of ice crystals and air gives the sherbet its desirable texture—smooth, creamy, and easy to scoop.

Simplicity: This recipe's simplicity is also a key factor in its success. With only two ingredients, it's easy to make and accessible to anyone. There's no need for an ice cream maker or complicated steps. The preparation process is straightforward and can be done quickly, making it a perfect treat for a hot day or a last-minute dessert option.

Ingredients:

7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 liter orange soda

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, pour the 7 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. Slowly pour the chilled orange soda into the bowl with the sweetened condensed milk. To avoid excessive fizzing, you can tilt the bowl slightly and pour the soda gently. Stir until well combined.

2. Pour the combined mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container or a loaf pan. Ensure that the container is large enough to accommodate the mixture while leaving some room for expansion as it freezes.

3. Place the container in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the sherbet is fully frozen. After 1 hour, you'll want to give the mixture a stir and put back into freezer. Repeat this process every 2 hours at least 2 more times before serving.

Once the orange sherbet is completely frozen, it's ready to be enjoyed. Scoop the sherbet into bowls or cones and relish the refreshing and creamy orange flavor.
