Sorbet was introduced to France in the 16th century by Catherine de' Medici, and it quickly became a popular dessert. In the 19th century, sorbet was introduced to the United States, where it became a popular summer treat. Today, sorbet is enjoyed all over the world and is made with a variety of fruits and flavors.

Ingredients
1 ripe pineapple, peeled and chopped
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon lime juice
Shredded coconut, for garnish
Instructions
In a blender, combine chopped pineapple, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, and lime juice.

Why It Works
The combination of pineapple and coconut is a classic flavor combination that is always a winner.
The use of full-fat coconut milk gives the sorbet a rich and creamy texture.
The honey or maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness to the sorbet without overpowering the fruit flavors.
The lime juice adds a bit of acidity to the sorbet, which helps to balance out the sweetness of the fruit and coconut milk.
