How it differs from similar foods
Lime sherbet differs from lime sorbet primarily in its fat content. Sherbet usually contains a small amount of dairy, such as milk or cream, which gives it a slightly creamier texture than sorbet, which is typically made only with water, sugar, and fruit flavoring. This slight difference in fat content affects the overall mouthfeel.
