Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk until smooth.

  2. Stir in the orange juice, then the crushed pineapple with its juice until evenly combined.

  3. Slowly pour in the orange-flavored carbonated beverage, stirring gently to keep as much fizz as possible.

  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container or metal pan and cover it.

  5. Freeze for about 1 hour, then stir well with a fork to break up any ice crystals at the edges.

  6. Repeat the stirring every 30 to 60 minutes for 3 to 4 hours, until the sherbet is firm but scoopable.

  7. Let the sherbet sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
