Cool off with this creamy, homemade coconut sorbet! Made with coconut milk and churned in an ice cream maker, this easy, dairy-free dessert is bursting with tropical flavor and just the right amount of sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 13.5 ounce can coconut milk (full fat)
  • 5.4 ounce can coconut cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the coconut water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir and simmer until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Transferring the mixture to a cool bowl will cool the mixture down faster.
  2. Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut extract. Whisk until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator until chilled. A minimum of 2 hours, or you can leave it overnight.
  3. Whisk the mixture together again and then pour into an ice cream maker. Use the “sorbet” setting, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
  4. Transfer the sorbet into a freezer safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours. The sorbet will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Recipe Notes

Store: Store sorbet in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
