Prep Time:15 minutes mins
Cook Time:5 minutes mins
Chilling Time:3 hours hrs
Total Time:3 hours hrs 20 minutes mins
Servings:8 servings
- 2 cans coconut milk unsweetened and chilled
- 1 can coconut cream unsweetened and chilled
- 8 ounces coconut water unsweetened
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut or flakes
Prepare your ice cream maker per the instructions for your specific device.
Heat the sugar and coconut water over low heat while stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and transfer to refrigerator until completely cooled.
Add the cooled mixture along with the chilled milk and cream to a blender and blend it until well combined. Then pour this mixture into the ice cream maker and run until it reaches the stage of soft serve.
Transfer into a freezer-safe container and freeze it for 3 hours. Once the sorbet is firm, top with shredded coconut or flakes if desired, and then serve and enjoy!
- Chill the coconut cream, milk, and ice cream machine core overnight or for at least a few hours. This isn’t compulsory, but it speeds up the sorbet setting time.
- A tablespoon of alcohol added to the recipe reduces the freezing point, which means it is slightly softer and therefore easier to scoop. Try Malibu or a similar coconut liqueur or something colorless like gin or vodka. You won’t really taste it in the finished sorbet, but even a little splash of alcohol in there makes it easier to scoop.
- Sub your favorite sweetener for the white sugar if you prefer. This makes it low carb.
- If you want more texture, add some flakes to the mixture and use the remainder on top as a decoration.
