Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:5 minutes
Chilling Time:3 hours
Total Time:3 hours 20 minutes
Servings:8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cans coconut milk unsweetened and chilled
  • 1 can coconut cream unsweetened and chilled
  • 8 ounces coconut water unsweetened
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • cup shredded coconut or flakes

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

  • 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.
