Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 ml Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, and the cooled sugar syrup until fully combined and smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tanginess to your liking by adding more sugar or lime juice if needed.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up before serving.
To serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and garnish with a sprinkle of lime zest or a slice of fresh lime, if desired.
