Ingredients

1 pint pineapple sherbet, slightly softened
1 pint mango sherbet, slightly softened
1 pint orange sherbet, slightly softened
Optional: 1 cup coconut whipped topping
Optional garnish: shredded coconut, lime zest, maraschino cherries

Instructions

Set the sherbets out for 10–15 minutes to soften slightly.
In a chilled loaf pan, alternate scoops of pineapple, mango, and orange sherbet.
Use a butter knife to swirl the layers in a figure-eight motion.
Be careful not to overmix—distinct swirls look best.
Cover the loaf pan and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
Scoop with a warm spoon or ice cream scoop.
Garnish with whipped topping, coconut, or cherries if desired.
Serve immediately or store for later.

Notes

To make the Tropical Sherbet Swirl more fun, try layering it in popsicle molds for kid-friendly treats. You can also add a graham cracker crust at the bottom for a pie-style twist.
