Notes
- Nutritional information does not include optional coconut and lime zest for topping.
- Pineapple: You can use thawed frozen pineapple, if needed.
- Ginger: 1 teaspoon of grated ginger is about 1 inch of fresh ginger.
- Milk: You can use dairy milk or regular coconut milk.
- Sweetener: You can use honey, maple syrup or another sugar substitute, if desired.
- Vodka: This is completely optional but it helps to create the smooth texture and prevents the sherbet from freezing rock solid.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can try freezing the mixture directly in a freezer safe container. However, the texture and consistency of the sherbet may vary slightly.
