Ice Cream vs Sherbet

Have been cleaning most of the day. Decided it was time to stop for now. I might pick it back up tomorrow. Always something to do for sure. Just had a small bowl of orange sherbet. Did you know these differences between ice cream and sherbet? ... *Ice-cream contains almost 50 percent milk or cream, while sherbet contains a maximum of 2% cream or milk. *Ice-cream is based on a dairy product, like milk, cream or butterfat, while sherbet is based on fruit puree. I like them both but rarely have ice cream. I like the light taste of sherbet. Orange is a favorite flavor, although raspberry and rainbow are enjoyed too. Do you like sherbet or ice cream or neither? Photo is mine. Three scoops of sherbet in my bowl.

I prefer ice cream and have a couple of favorites; Vanilla Bean and Salted Caramel.

@DaddyEvil I think the hot weather this summer has something to do with it. Sherbet is lighter.

I used to really like those flavors too and still do, but lately sherbet is what I have enjoyed.

Photo looks awesome!! Honestly first time I am hearing about sherbet. But as you mentioned it contains more part of fruit and puree, it must tastes delicious. I guess Icecream is the only famous thing here.

I like them both, usually I buy sherbets in summer, as they are lighter choice. Mango sherbet is one of my favorite.

So what's the difference between a sherbet and a sorbet? Or are they different names for the same thing?

Unlike sherbet or ice cream, sorbet does not contain any dairy or eggs whatsoever.

I have had ice cream a lot more than sherbet but like both. Ice cream not as good for you and always makes me thirsty but it tastes so good.

The scoops look delicious! I prefer Sherbets from some local brands. The mixed fruit ones are popular here. But we also have Rose and a few 9ther varieties. Ice Creams are something we prefer during Extreme Heat or slightly dry weather. Normally we avoid them during rains and winters.

They were very good and refreshing. Small scoops and a small bowl. Just right. I too enjoy nice cream. This was something different.

It is a lighter version of ice cream. Less calories and a nice crisp taste.

I enjoy the fruity zip of sherbet. And the decadent, creamy flavour of the iced moo juice. I'd pick Sherbet, but would take ice cream any day of the week.

I like both and the rainbow is my favorite when it comes to sherbet. Usually I have ice cream in the freezer but occasionally I'll pick up sherbet.

I like the taste of both, but I prefer the creaminess of ice cream. Although the extra calories and fat content I could do without.
