Coconut Sorbet
Alight and refreshing frozen dessert made with coconut milk, sugar, and lime juice, a perfect palate cleanser or summer treat enjoyed worldwide.
Ingredients
- Coconut Milk: Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamy texture and rich coconut flavor.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar is typically used to sweeten the sorbet.
- Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a tangy flavor and balances the sweetness of the sorbet.
Instructions
Preparation:
- In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the coconut mixture cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Churning:
- Once the coconut mixture is chilled, transfer it to an ice cream maker.
- Churn the mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency, typically about 20-25 minutes.
Notes
Serving:
Once churned, transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
Scoop the coconut sorbet into bowls or glasses.
Garnish with a wedge of lime or a sprig of mint, if desired.
Serve immediately as a refreshing palate cleanser or summer dessert. Tips:
For an extra burst of flavor, you can add grated lime zest to the coconut mixture before churning.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make sorbet by pouring the chilled coconut mixture into a shallow dish and placing it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency. Enjoy the light and refreshing taste of Coconut Sorbet as a delightful summer treat or a palate cleanser between courses of a meal.
