In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut water, granulated sugar, lime juice, and vanilla extract until the sugar is completely dissolved. This may take a few minutes.
If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2-3 hours to firm up.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Place it in the freezer and whisk vigorously with a fork every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours, breaking up any ice crystals as they form. Continue this process until the sorbet is fully frozen and creamy.
Once the sorbet is fully frozen, scoop into serving bowls or cones. Garnish with shredded coconut if desired.
Enjoy your homemade coconut sorbet immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
