The milk is the difference. Ice cream has it and sorbet does not.

Sorbet and Italian ice are two ice-based confections that are recognizable by their sweet,
often fruity flavor. Many people confuse sorbet and Italian ice because of their similarities in
flavor and composition. The primary difference between Italian ice and sorbet is in the
texture -- Italian ice is more grainy and icy, while sorbet has a smoother mouth feel. Sorbet
can also contain alcohol, which contributes to the smoothness of the composition and
texture.

The main difference between ice cream, gelato, and sorbet lies in their ingredients and textures. Ice cream contains cream, milk, sugar, and sometimes egg yolks, resulting in a rich and creamy texture. Gelato has a higher proportion of milk to cream and less air churned into it, giving it a denser and smoother texture than ice cream. Sorbet is made with fruit puree or juice, sugar, and water, resulting in a dairy-free and lighter texture compared to ice cream and gelato.

Sorbet, on the other hand, is a frozen dessert made with fruit puree or juice, sugar, and water, making it dairy-free and typically lighter in texture.
Gelato is an Italian frozen dessert that is denser and creamier than ice cream, with less air whipped into it. Ice cream is a frozen dessert made with cream, sugar, and flavorings, and has a higher fat content than gelato. Sorbet is a frozen dessert made with fruit puree, sugar, and water, and does not contain any dairy.
Dairy ice cream melts faster than sorbet ice cream.
There is no equivalent name in French for sherbet, an intermediate between sorbet and ice-cream. The same word as for ice-cream would be used, "glace". Sorbet is exclusively reserved for ice cream that is made purely of fruit and sugar, with no dairy in it.
un sorbet (masc.) is a variety of ice cream, in which you use water instead of cream. Sorbets are usually fruit-flavoured (a lemon or blackcurrant-flavoured ice-cream will be of the sorbet variety, while a strawberry, vanilla or chocolate-based ice-cream will use cream as an ingredient)
Sorbet is water ice made from fruit juice and egg whites. Can be served between food courses to cleanse the palate or as a dessert. I don't think that sorbet is ice cream because ice cream is milk-based and sorbet is not. No, sorbet is not considered ice cream, because it's made of ice. It consists of crushed ice and natural and/or artificial flavours. It has no milk or any other dairy product whatsoever.
sorbet i think lol
What defines an ice cream, sherbet, or sorbet is the milkfat content. Ice cream has the most, sherbet less so, and sorbet none. While sherbet is similar to ice cream, it is not the same thing.
ice cream
To make sorbet using an ice cream maker, first prepare a fruit puree or juice mixture. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator. Pour the chilled mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the sorbet to a container and freeze until firm. Enjoy your homemade sorbet!
Ice cream, gelato, and sorbet differ in ingredients, texture, and flavor profiles. Ice cream contains cream, milk, sugar, and sometimes eggs, resulting in a rich and creamy texture. Gelato has less cream and more milk, making it denser and smoother than ice cream. Sorbet is dairy-free, made with fruit puree or juice, sugar, and water, giving it a light and refreshing texture. Each has distinct flavor profiles, with ice cream being rich and indulgent, gelato being creamy and intense, and sorbet being fruity and refreshing.
