Creamy Lime Sherbet


Ok. I would not go as far as to say this is a sherbet. It is definitely more ice creamy to me. But that's what the recipe is named. I also think that you could forgo the cool whip altogether (I tasted it...it's good), but the cool whip adds amazing creaminess. This is perfect for a hot summer's day. Nice and light (not in calories) and refreshing. Yum!

Creamy Lime Sherbet

2 c. milk
1 1/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. lime juice
1 1/2 tsp. grated lime peel
2-3 drops green food coloring (optional)
1 8oz. carton Cool Whip, thawed

Warm milk in microwave for about a minute or until milk is warmed through. Pour over sugar. Stir. Put in fridge until chilled.
Stir in lime juice and peel. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
Transfer to a 2 1/2 qt. container. Fold in Cool Whip (May need to soften the lime mix a little first). Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. Serve with graham cracker crumbs on top!
