I've always loved sorbet, but I've never been a fan of the dairy-based varieties. They're often too heavy and rich for my taste. A few years ago, I started experimenting with making my own dairy-free sorbets, and this coconut and lime sorbet is one of my favorites. I love the combination of the creamy coconut milk and the bright and tangy lime. This sorbet is also incredibly refreshing and flavorful, making it the perfect summer treat. I've made this sorbet many times over the years, and I've found that the best results come from using full-fat coconut milk. The higher fat content gives the sorbet a creamier texture. I also like to use fresh lime zest and juice for the best flavor. This sorbet is very easy to make, and it's a great way to use up any leftover coconut milk. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat more fruit. My kids love this sorbet, and they always ask for seconds.
