Sherbet vs. Sorbet - What's The Difference?
When visiting an ice cream shop, restaurant or even strolling down the frozen dessert aisle at the grocery store, your options are endless! With so many choices, it can be hard to know the difference between them, and which one is best for you.
Keep reading to learn more about the difference between our two refreshing favourites: sorbets and sherbets!
Sorbet
Sorbet is a tasty frozen dessert, typically made without milk! Made with fruit and sweetened water, sorbet is a lighter alternative to ice cream and a perfect option for those who are lactose intolerant, sensitive to dairy or just looking for a sweet frozen treat.
Central Smith offers three delicious non-dairy sorbets: Peach, Strawberry and Lemon Lime.
Sherbet
Like sorbet, sherbet is also made with fruit and sweetened water. The difference is, sherbet also includes a small amount of milk, meaning it cannot be classified as a non-dairy dessert.
So, while it's not completely dairy free, it does contain less dairy than ice cream. Think about it like this: Sherbet is the middle ground between ice cream and sorbet!
We have a wonderful lineup of sherbets at Central Smith. We offer four sherbet options: Lime, Orange, Watermelon and Rainbow!
Watermelon Sherbet is a flavour unique to Central Smith! With a distinct watermelon-flavoured base and chocolate "seeds," this flavour is a must-try for anyone who loves fruity flavours!
Sorbets and sherbets are both light, refreshing options, but they are different!
Whether you're a restaurant operator, parlour scooper, or just a frozen-dessert enjoyer, it's important to know what makes each of these treats so unique.
