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

the following by Paisleycool:

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.

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.

It consists of crushed ice and natural and/or artificial flavours. It has no milk or any other dairy product whatsoever.
