Ingredients

  • 1 fresh pineapple cored and diced
  • zest and juice of a lime
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 cup canned light coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon vodka optional, helps prevent the sherbet from freezing rock solid
  • Toasted coconut and lime zest for topping the sherbet optional

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients (except the toppings) to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturers instructions.
  • Eat immediately or transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze until firm.
  • Allow the sherbet to sit on the counter for 5 to 15 minutes until slightly softened before serving.

Notes

  • Nutritional information does not include optional coconut and lime zest for topping.
INGREDIENT NOTES:
  • 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. 
ICE CREAM MAKER:
  • 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.
