Treat yourself to a refreshing and tropical dessert with this coconut and lime sorbet. The combination of creamy coconut milk and zesty lime creates a deliciously smooth and invigorating treat that’s perfect for a hot day or as a light dessert.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the 1/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup of water.
2. Add the cinnamon stick to the saucepan.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
4. Let the mixture reach a gentle simmer and then lower the heat.
5. Simmer for about 5 minutes to let the cinnamon infuse into the syrup.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside. Allow the syrup to cool completely to room temperature.
1. Once the sugar syrup has cooled, remove and discard the cinnamon stick.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sugar syrup with the lime zest.
3. Pour in the coconut milk, and whisk until all the ingredients are well combined. Ensure that the lime zest is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid.
2. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to chill for at least 2 hours. This helps to develop the flavors and makes it easier to churn.
1. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker.
2. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the sorbet reaches a thick, slushy consistency. This usually takes around 20-25 minutes.
1. Once churned, transfer the sorbet into a freezer-safe container.
2. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
3. Place the container in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop.
1. When ready to serve, remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
2. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your refreshing Coconut and Lime Sorbet!
Tips:
- Ensure the coconut milk is well mixed before using to achieve a consistent texture.
- For a more intense lime flavor, adjust the amount of lime zest or add a splash of lime juice to taste.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly before churning it in an ice cream maker to achieve a smoother texture.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze, and stir every 30 minutes until smooth.
- Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or additional lime zest for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
There you have it – a refreshing and easy-to-make coconut and lime sorbet. This delightful dessert offers a perfect balance of creamy coconut and tangy lime, making it a great choice for any occasion. Enjoy!
