How it differs from similar foods
Unlike ice cream, sherbet typically contains less fat because it is made with fruit juice, milk, and sugar, rather than cream. This results in a lighter, more refreshing taste and a less dense texture. Its pronounced citrus flavor also sets it apart from richer dairy-based frozen desserts.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining sherbet in its original container, tightly covered, in the freezer. Ensure the lid is sealed to prevent freezer burn and maintain its smooth texture. It is best consumed within a few weeks for optimal flavor and quality.
