Coconut-Lime Sorbet
This recipe comes from Gourmet's Casual Entertaining, and I knew the minute I read the recipe that I had to make it immediately! I served it with ice-cold sliced mango, which was a perfect pairing. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm betting it would also make a pretty fabulous margarita base. Serves 8.
Ingredients:
1-1/4 c. water
1 c. sugar
1-1/2 c. canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 c. fresh lime juice
1 c. sweetened, flaked coconut, toasted
Step-by-step:
1. Boil water and sugar in a saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove pan from heat and stir in the coconut milk, then cool.
2. Stir together coconut milk mixture and lime juice and freeze in an ice-cream maker. Transfer sorbet to a bowl and stir in half the coconut. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.
3. Serve topped with remaining toasted coconut.
