Blood Orange Champagne Sherbet

Blood Orange Champagne Sherbet

• • 2 cups freshly squeezed blood orange juice

  • Zest of 1 blood orange

  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk

  • 1/2 - 1 cup champagne or sparkling wine(depending on how strong you want the flavor)

  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Whisk together the juice, zest, milk, champagne, sugar and vanilla – start with a smaller amount of the champagne or wine and add more to suit your taste. Chill mixture in the refrigerator until very cold, then pour through a mesh strainer to strain out the zest. Pour into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then transfer to a container and freeze until firm enough to scoop, about 4-6 hours.

Yields about 8 servings, 1/2 cup each.
