Equipment

  • Freezing tub

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14- ounce can unsweetened coconut cream
  • 1 14- ounce can unsweetened coconut milk full fat
  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract You can also use vanilla bean
  • 1 cup sugar cane
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small pot, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, coconut flakes, vanilla and sugar with the dash of salt.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and stir for about 3-5 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Take the pot off of the heat and let sit until it has cooled, stirring often to hasten the process. Strain the mixture into a bowl, pressing all of the liquid out of the coconut flakes.
  • Discard the coconut flakes and refrigerate tub base until cold. (By the way you could keep the flaked coconut in the sorbet if you like the texture!)
  • Freeze the coconut liquid in a machine according to manufacturers directions, or even just place in a tupperwear or metal loaf-pan and put straight into the freezer.
  • Let freeze at least 4 hours and up to overnight, and then scoop and serve with fresh berries. I left mine for 12 hours.
