Sherbet
At Mother Murphy’s, we have
created a rainbow of sherbet flavors.It takes the proper balance of sweetness and acidity to make sherbet taste good. The goal is sweet and sour flavors that play off each other. The texture must be creamy but not icy.
In addition, a prescribed balance of ingredients, including fruit or fruit juice, must also be met for sherbet to be considered sherbet, not sorbet or gelato under FDA guidelines. Those guidelines go even further, with different minimum fruit levels for sherbets with citrus flavors than berry sherbets.
