Kool-Aid Sherbet

One of the main reasons I love this recipe so much is that it is SO simple to make. All it takes it three ingredients, some stirring, freezing, and a lot of enjoying! If your kids are anything like mine were during the summer, they are constantly begging for something cold, whether it be a cold drink, a popsicle, or an ice cream cone. This is one of my go-to recipes to whip up on those extra hot summer days. I have also made this recipe for several different parties- there are many different Kool-Aid flavors so you can make this sherbet to match any theme/décor. You can even do red and blue for the 4th of July, pastel colors for Easter, orange for Halloween, or you can just use your child’s favorite color for a birthday party. The possibilities are endless!

Ingredients

1 package of Kool-Aid mix any flavor/color

1 cup sugar (more or less to taste)

3 cups milk (any kind—whole, skim, almond, etc)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together all three of the ingredients until the sugar and Kool-Aid mix is completely dissolved.

Next, pour into your ice cream freezer and follow manufacturer’s directions or pour the mixture into a shallow dish, cover and then place it in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until mostly set.

Once the dessert is partially frozen, put the sherbet back in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until smooth.

Then, refreeze in a covered, shallow container until set (at least a few hours or overnight).

When you are ready to enjoy, set the sherbet out for about 10-15 minutes prior to serving to make it easier to scoop.

Serve and enjoy!
