Refreshing coconut sorbet. An ideal dessert for hot days.
Ingredients
- Sugar, 200 g
- Water, 125 ml
- Coconut milk (1 can, 400 ml)
- Lime juice, from 2 limes
- Optional: fruits in syrup or a few fresh raspberries or blueberries for serving
Preparation
Pour the water into a saucepan, add the sugar, and heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Then increase the heat and boil the syrup for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Squeeze the juice from the limes and pour it into a glass, adding enough water to make 125 ml of liquid. Add this to the cooled syrup along with the coconut milk.
Pour the mixture into a plastic container and place it in the freezer. If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and follow the instructions.
If making the sorbet manually, without a machine, place the mixture in the freezer for about 6-8 hours, stirring the mixture every hour to remove ice crystals and ensure a smooth consistency. This can be quite laborious, so using an ice cream maker is recommended.
Serve the sorbet in bowls or cones, either on its own or with fruits in syrup or fresh fruits. If it becomes too hard, you can soften it in the refrigerator.
