Sherbet (/ˈʃɜːrbət/), often referred to as sherbert (/ˈʃɜːrbərt/),[1] is a frozen dessert made from water, sugar, a dairy product such as cream or milk, and a flavoring – typically fruit juice or purée, wine, liqueur, or occasionally non-fruit flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, or peppermint. It is similar to, but distinct from, sorbet, which lacks dairy.[2]
One of the most popular flavors, rainbow sherbet, typically combines three flavors, each in its own color.
