Sorbet or Sherbet?


We were trying to figure out the difference between Sorbet and Sherbet Saturday evening, as we enjoyed our Lime Sherbet. Here's what I found out...

From Dictionary.com:
Sherbet: A frozen dessert made primarily of fruit juice, sugar, and water, and also containing milk, egg white, or gelatin.

Sorbet:A frozen dessert similar to a frappé, usually made from fruit juice and having a mushy consistency.

A similar result on Wikipedia. The basic difference is milk, egg whites, or gelatin in the Sherbet. And Al it isn't pronounced like Sorbet. And Sherbert is something entirely different!

So now you know... :)
