Or is there only sorbet? Is sherbert just a made up word?

Sherbert isn't the right way to say it.
It's "Sherbet"
But for some reason, when people say it, they add the extra "R" at the end.
It's just Sherbet.

It's sherbet, pronounced Sher - bet or sher-bert (even though there's no second R) and sorbet - pronounce soar-bay. Both are made from fruit juices, but differently (sherbet has some milk in it while sorbet doesn't - ice cream has lots of milk in it) and both are delicious.
So technically sherbert is a made up work.
