In anticipation of summer – not that we had a particularly harsh winter in NYC – I’ve been craving a refreshing sorbet this whole week. A while back my mother-in-law gave me this easy and delicious strawberry coconut sorbet recipe that I’ve been meaning to try out. I’m not exactly sure if this is technically a sorbet because it contains ‘milk’. However, I think the distinction between sorbet and sherbert is more about dairy, so I’m just going to go ahead and call this a sorbet!
This sorbet came out really creamy in texture because of the coconut milk. The coconut flavor isn’t too overpowering and the sorbet remains refreshing with a hint of tart lime juice. I really enjoyed making this recipe because it was so easy to prepare, no need to heat anything or re-freeze twice.
Recipe below…
Clean and chop the strawberries then prepare the rest of your ingredients.
Add ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth.
Add strawberry puree into your ice cream maker and churn until thick.
Scoop out sorbet and serve or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Strawberry Sorbet with Coconut Milk Recipe
1 pound fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
1 cup coconut milk
1 lime, juiced
1-2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
3 tablespoons agave syrup or honey
a splash of vodka (if freezing overnight or longer)
Add all ingredients to blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Place puree mixture in ice cream maker and churn until creamy and thick. If you’re planning on freezing this overnight, add a splash of vodka now (This keeps the sorbet from getting too hard). Transfer to an airtight container and store in freezer.

Is there a substitute for vodka? Several of my family members are allergic to alcohol.
Well, I put is as optional to prevent it from getting too hard in the freezer. You can always leave it out an hour before serving or consume it right after churning it in your ice cream maker.
Another option you have is to use more sugar as this lowers the freezing point.
wow that picture of sorbet slowly melting in the ice cream scoop… makes me want to reach into my screen and grab it! beautiful, this sounds great!
Thanks so much Lannie!
