Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 200 ml Water
- 10 g Dessicated coconut (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved. This should take about 3–5 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature. This will serve as the base for the sorbet.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and the cooled sugar syrup until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the coconut mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for 20–25 minutes, until the sorbet has reached a smooth and creamy consistency.
Step 5
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into an airtight container and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture vigorously every 30 minutes for 3–4 hours to break up ice crystals and create a smooth texture.
Step 6
Once the sorbet is fully frozen, scoop into bowls or cones to serve. Optionally, sprinkle with dessicated coconut for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
Step 7
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
