Ice cream made of fruit is called Sorbet when it's dairy free and sherbet if it contains a small amount of dairy.

Sorbet is a fruit based ice cream that is dairy free.

And sherbet is a fruit based ice cream that contains small amounts of dairy.

Many people refer to sorbet and sherbet as fruit ice cream, ice cream, technically must also contain dairy, so sorbet and sherbet are terms that are used to described the fruit only versions.

Sorbet is a light, frozen dessert that is often made from fruit puree or juice, sugar and water, and it's most notable for being dairy free and fat free and is often used as a refreshing palate cleanser.

And unlike regular ice cream, the sorbet contains no dairy, making sorbet suitable for vegans to consume and even suitable for people who are allergic to dairy.

Sugar also plays a crucial role in sorbet by not only sweetening but also lowering the freezing point, creating a smooth texture with small ice crystals that are suspended in a concentrated syrup.
