- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, and the cooled sugar syrup until fully combined and smooth.
Step 3
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tanginess to your liking by adding more sugar or lime juice if needed.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 5
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up before serving.
Step 6
To serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and garnish with a sprinkle of lime zest or a slice of fresh lime, if desired.
