Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh pineapple, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Light rum (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a blender, combine the fresh pineapple, coconut milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, lime juice, rum (if using), vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend the mixture on high until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or lime juice as needed.
Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze the mixture for about 2-3 hours, or until the edges begin to solidify.
Remove from the freezer and use a fork to mix the semi-frozen sherbet, incorporating the frozen edges into the center. This will help create a smoother texture as it freezes. Return to the freezer.
Repeat stirring every 30 minutes for the next 2 hours, or until the sherbet is fully frozen and has a smooth, scoopable consistency.
To serve, scoop the Pina Colada Sherbet into bowls or cones and garnish with fresh pineapple slices or shredded coconut, if desired.
