Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Papa's Favorite Sherbet

My dad loves this sherbet. Our favorite Kool-Aid to use is tropical punch, but we also have fun experimenting with all of the other flavors. This sherbet is ready to put in the ice cream maker within a few minutes of starting to make it, so it is a great anytime treat.


Papa's Favorite Sherbet

1 envelope Kool-Aid, any flavor
1 1/2 cups sugar, more or less to suit your taste
3 cups soy milk

Whisk together all of the ingredients until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
*  Once the sherbet is done, the girls have a bowl of it like soft serve. Then I transfer the rest to a covered container and place it in the freezer. If the sherbet becomes to hard in the freezer, I place it briefly in the microwave to make it easier to scoop.

  1. This is great! I've been wondering if soymilk would work in an ice cream maker!

  2. Bethany,

    I only ever use soy milk in my ice cream maker. All of the recipes turn out so yummy and wonderful. I will be posting more ice cream recipes as I make them so that I can also post pictures.

  3. great idea. I never thought of using koolaide. Hey my homemade icecream always gets crystalised and really hard within a day of the freezer. I was googling it and I guess if you add arrowroot powder to it it helps. I will try on my next batch.
