How to Decorate My Sherbet Ice Cream

Decorate sherbert ice cream with sweet treats.

One of the best things about the summer is eating ice cream. Sherbet ice cream -- a fruit-based desert containing milk and other fats to make it taste like real ice cream -- makes one of summer's best cold treats. With a smooth texture and sweet flavors, sherbet tastes refreshing and creamy. Jazz up sherbet as you would regular ice cream, with chunks of candies, chocolate drizzles and other sweet toppings.

Things You'll Need

• Chocolate syrup
• Candies
• Fruits
• Chopped nuts
• Brownie bits
• Chopped cake
• Crushed cookies

Instructions

1. Top the sherbet ice cream with drizzles of chocolate syrup. The sweetness of the chocolate goes well with the fruity flavors and the creaminess of the sherbet.

2. Garnish the sherbet ice cream with pieces of your favorite candies, such as gummy bears, candy-coated chocolate or peanut-butter pieces. This adds flavor to the desert and gives it some personality.

3. Add chunks of real fruit to bring out the sherbet's fruity flavors. If you have berry sherbet, add a few pieces of raspberries. If you have mango sherbet, put in chopped mango. Adding chunks of real fruit brings out the sherbet's real flavors and adds a refreshing taste.

4. Rain a handful of chopped nuts onto the sherbet. Their crunchy texture goes well with the smoothness of the ice cream. Nuts contain a variety of nutrients, such as fiber, protein, minerals and vitamins.

5. Top your sherbet with desert bites, such as bits of brownies, crunched cookies and chopped cakes. Adding another layer of desert to your sherbet provides an additional dimension of flavor.
