make your own sherbet freezes…

One of my favorite things about living in Texas (and now Missouri) is visiting Braum’s Ice Cream. Yum! One popular item on their menu is a Freeze, a sherbet and 7-Up (or Sprite) mix that is delicious.  A friend of mine shared this “recipe” to make my own Freezes and I thought I’d share it with ya’ll. 

We’ve had unseasonably warm weather in Missouri and these Freezes have been a perfect quick treat for Grayson after an afternoon of playing outside.  They are super quick to make and MUCH cheaper to make at home.  You’ll need 2 ingredients: Sprite (or the Wal-mart generic version) and any flavor of sherbet.



I make my Freezes in a blender to make them come together faster.



You might also want a cute little helper!

The steps are easy:

1. Add several scoops of sherbet to your blender.  We used 4 scoops for 2 1/2 Freezes.
2. Add enough Sprite to cover your sherbet.  Blend and add more Sprite until it reaches the consistency you like.
3. Pour it in a “fancy” glass, add a straw, and enjoy.

Have you ever been to Braum’s?  What’s your favorite warm weather treat?
