2 ingredient Orange Sorbet/Sherbet
This easy, 2 ingredient orange sorbet will quickly become your new favorite frozen dessert! Combining frozen oranges and vanilla yogurt create the creamiest, healthy dessert! Made in a blender, this sorbet comes together SO quickly.
Ingredients
- 3 Sumo citrus or other oranges - this doesn't have to be exact! *see notes for sweet varieties that I recommend!
- 1/2 cup Coconut yogurt or greek yogurt *Use a thick variety. Up the yogurt to 3/4 cup if you want it extra creamy!
- 2-3 tbsp orange zest
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey *Totally optional! Just incase you want it a little sweeter.
- 3 tbsp vanilla protein powder *Totally optional! You'd just blend it in with the other ingredients.
Instructions
- NOTES: There are two ways you can make this recipe (i prefer the first way, and like it best eaten straight away but the video shows the second way). If you do not have a Vitamix, use a food processor. The vitamix has a tamper that makes it easy to push the pieces into the bottom of the blender if it's having trouble blending. If you dont have one, you'll have to constantly stop and stir it around. So opt for a food processor!
- First option: Peel the oranges and break them into small pieces. Place on a cookie sheet or in a large bowl and place in the freezer overnight. Add the coconut yogurt to an ice cube tray and freeze overnight as well. When ready to make, add the oranges, orange zest, and yogurt cubes to a food process or vitamix. Blend a few minutes, until completely smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times. It'll seem dry at first but it'll get smooth! Take your time!
- Enjoy right away or Store in an air-tight container in the freezer. I have reusable ice cream containers that I love linked in the blog post! For the best texture, let the sorbet thaw 15-20 minutes before enjoying, to allow it to defrost a bit and get creamy!
- Second option: Peel the oranges and break them into small pieces. Freeze the oranges for a few hours. Once they're pretty frozen, add to a blender with the yogurt and orange zest. Once smooth, pour the mixture into an air-tight container. Freeze overnight. When ready to eat, let it thaw for 15-20 minutes to allow it to defrost and get creamy.
Notes
*You'll want to choose sweeter oranges as we don't add sweetener. Naval oranges, cara cara oranges, and valencia oranges are all great!
**You can add a tbsp of maple syrup or honey if needed!
Tip: You can start with half of the oranges and half of the yogurt cubes, blend, then add the rest to make it easier on your food processor or blender.
