Orange sherbet seems like a curveball flavor to rank in the most popular ice cream flavors, but it's a surprisingly tasty option for anyone who might be looking to consume a little less dairy.
The tangy-sweet dessert has a similar consistency to soft serve ice cream but has less fat than other alternatives.
Think of strawberries and cream ice cream as classic strawberry - with a little added sweetness.
The tasty treat is usually made from a base of strawberry ice cream with added chunks of real strawberries and a creamy berry-based sauce that ripples throughout.
Lemon sorbet is best described as ice cream's cooler, more sophisticated rich aunt. The icy treat is typically made of diced lemon, peel, lemon syrup, water and sugar, all boiled down and frozen.
It's often served as an in-between course at high end restaurants but is also commonly enjoyed on its own as a relatively healthy alternative to ice cream.
Butter pecan is a distinctly American ice cream flavor that typically consists of roasted pecans, butter and vanilla flavoring, all blended into a smooth vanilla ice cream.
It's occasionally made with almonds in place of pecans - although that would technically make it butter almond!
The slightly more mouth-puckering alternative to strawberry-flavored ice cream, raspberry ice cream is typically red or deep purple in color.
It's oftentimes made with real raspberry puree and occasionally has chunks of raspberries blended in as well.
