I know there's a difference, so could you tell me what it is & which you prefer?

I like all 3 but ice cream will always be my favorite. My mother bought me an ice cream maker for my birthday a couple of years ago so I used to make my own ice cream and it was so rich and creamy and I could put anything in it that I wanted. It almost killed me however! I gained 9 lbs in a couple of months, my blood sugar was high and my cholestrol and blood pressure went thru the roof. So I had to give up on my home made ice cream ... so sad. I make a plain, sugar free/near fat free ice milk now but it just isn't the same.

I like frozen custard the best because it tastes creamier. I'm not sure what makes it different, but I think that frozen custard is cooked first, with an egg mixture and allowed to cool. I've got an ice cream maker that I haven't used in a while, and I just remember that the instructions for the frozen custard took a lot more prep time. I made some grape ice cream, that the main ingredients were grape juice and cream. It was really good, but it used to leave a greasy feeling in my mouth. I don't know how sherbet is made, but I do like it. It tastes lighter than ice cream or frozen custard.

I cream is made from milk/cream and flavoring, sherbet water instead of milk, custard made with milk and eggs. I prefer ice cream.

I am not sure of the exact differences, but I don't think cream or milk goes into the sherbet. I like ice cream best if I just have a plain sweet tooth, but if I am hot and been working in the yard a lot that day or something, I prefer the lightness of sherbet.

That was a really good question, thanks for posting it! lol I've actually always wondered that too. I don't know of the exact difference in how they're made, just the difference in the taste. I love all three though, so it sort of depends on my mood. I definitely eat sherbet when I'm trying to eat healthier though, since it's usually fat free and has way less calories.

Ice cream for ever!!! I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice scream.LOL.

I think that sherbert has not dairy in it. I say that because my daughter was a nanny for 3 kids and one of them was allergic to dairy so when they went for ice cream he always got sherbert. I may be wrong. Custard is made with a fair amount of eggs and so has a different texture and taste that ice cream. Sorry about the limited knowledge.

the difference between then one is an ice cream the others are not.

I like all 3 of them. Not sure of the differences though. i saw another poster said something about 'sorbet'. well at walmart the other day (in the canned fruit isle) i found this thing that you freeze and eat and its some kind of fruit stuff. anyway, it comes in a package of 4 containers and you freeze them, if you dont freeze them solid, it will be like eating jelly, which i dont really care for unless its on bread.

Ice cream is made with cream, milk, sugar and flavors. Frozen custard is softer because it is made warmer in the process of making it. Sherbet has a little milk in it and fruit. The fat is not over 2 percent. My favorite is frozen custard...a mix of chocolate and vanilla!!!

Ice Cream is made by stirring, while freezing, a pasteurized mix of one or more dairy ingredients: milk, concentrated fat-free milk, cream, condensed milk, sweetening agents, flavorings, stabilizers, emulsifiers and optional egg or egg yolk solids or other ingredients. Custard is similar to ice cream but contains a higher content of egg yolk solids. Sherbet contains 1 to 2% milk fat and 2 to 5% total milk solids. Water, flavoring (e.g., fruit, chocolate, spices), sweetener and stabilizers are added. Sherbet has more sugar than ice cream.

Oh, they are all ice-cream. I am not aware.I thought one is cake and the other is a drink :P I am not a fan of ice-cream and do not eat it often. However, if served, I just eat it out of courtesy. Given a choice, I prefer ice-cream which are not sweet and my favourite is mint.

frozen custard are creamier. but i like ice cream more compare to the other two. i dont know how you make sherbet in your country, but from where im from we put a little salt in it. and when you freeze them yo should salt in the fridge.

Here's the definition of sherbert: A frozen dessert made primarily of fruit juice, sugar, and water, and also containing milk, egg white, or gelatin. I know you know what ice cream is! I had never even heard of frozen custard, that sounds delicious! I'll have to keep my eyes open for that. I actually really like sherbert, and even more so sorbet. I love fruit and pureed frozen fruits, so they are very refreshing on a hot day. I think once I have tasted the frozen custard, I will say I prefer that over the ice cream.
