This raspberry sherbet is the perfect summer treat to make! Using only a blender, it takes a second to whip up, and you don’t even need an ice cream machine!

Sherbet is one of those things you can’t get enough of on hot summer days. It’s actually a cross between ice cream and sorbet. The raspberries give the sherbet a tart, but sweet flavor, and the milk gives it a delicious creamy texture. Try making it with blueberries, or mixing various berries together.
