Well the weather's finally starting to warm up. I'm so ready for spring, summer and SORBET! This is just a quick post to try out my new laptop (yay!) and share my new favourite flavour of sorbet. It's so refreshing, a perfect intro to the warmer weather.
These flavours were inspired by what's been in my vege box lately. Creamy and tropical, this is a great one for those of us who need a dairy free replacement for ice cream... you'd swear it has cream in it! I'm so addicted to coconut cream ice-creams. I hope you like it too. :)
Note: You will need to freeze the pineapple pieces and the coconut cream ahead of time!
1. Grind vanilla, rapadura & lime zest on speed 9 for 30 seconds, or until finely ground:
- 80g Rapadura (or to taste)
- 1 vanilla bean, snipped in a few pieces
- Zest of 2 limes
(If you don't have a vanilla bean, just use a teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract in the last step.)
2. Add the ice cubes and grind on speed 9 for 10 seconds:
- 350g ice cubes
3. Add the frozen coconut cream and grind on speed 9 for 10 seconds:
- 450g coconut cream, frozen in ice cube trays (either tinned, or make your own from fresh or dried coconut)4. Add frozen pineapple pieces, the two whole 2 limes (without skin), and the egg white. Process on speed 9 until creamy, pushing mixture down with spatula as needed.
- 2 limes, skin removed
- 300g frozen pineapple pieces
- 300g frozen pineapple pieces
- 1 egg white (optional)

Yummo! I just made strawberry kiwi fruit and coconut sorbert tonight. Butthis will bethenext one i make.i have leftover coconut cream in the ice block tray already.
Mmmm, strawberry-kiwi-coconut sounds gorgeous too! I'll have to try yours!! :)
Hey -- another great recipe using coconut butter! (btw: thanks for linking to my blog :) I love limes so will have to try this. Since getting Thermomix I find that I am ALWAYS zesting every citrus fruit I use. Even if the recipe calls for "juice of one lemon" for example, I'll zest it first and toss the zest into a "zest baggie" that I keep in the freezer. The frozen zest comes in so handy for adding extra zing to sorbets and other recipes too.
I'll be shopping for limes later today -- thanks Jo :)
Hi Jo, Sorry for asking the obvious, but was wondering if this would work with your coconut butter frozen or should I just use coconut cream from a tin. I wondered if the coconut butter would add a more creamy texture like an icecream if I left out the ice and everything else was frozen.
thanks, Sharon
Hi Sharon, actually, I haven't tried coconut butter - I think it would be a bit hard to chop up. I would stick with the coconut cream - it really is creamy as it is but feel free to use all coconut cream and no ice if you like!
Jo :)
wow this looks awesome. it must be some machine.
It IS some machine!!! :D We call it the 'Dream Machine'! lol
If you want to see a demo let me know. There's no obligation to buy - it's not like a Tupperware party - just a cooking demonstration where the consultant makes 6 dishes: sorbet, bread, dip, salad, risotto or pasta and custard. Yum! :)
Cheers for this recipe, Jo. I absolutely adore coconut cream and the idea of slurping it down in a frozen dreamy concoction such as this sends my head spinning - for the nearest tin opener! I'll be sure to check out Helene's Thermomix kitchen store (http://www.superkitchenmachine.com/shop-thermomix/thermomix-kitchen-store) for ice cube trays to freeze it. Cheers!
Good plan, Madame Thermomix!! :)
I just wanted to thank you so much for you wonderful blog and all your time and effort! And thank you for helping me figure out the pizza crust via chat! I love all your recipes and looking through everything has given me a great deal of confidence to cook as a new wife with a new gluten problem who is far away from home! Thank you!
Valerie
Oh, thank you Valerie :) I'm so glad to hear I've been of help!

Hi Jo, just wondering if it still works with no egg white? I have a friend who's allergic to eggs, but just found out her daughter is allergic to dairy. (sending her over to your blog!! :-). )
thanks, Clare
Hi Clare, yes, this works fine without the egg white, as the coconut cream helps it to not be so icy. Thanks for sending your friend over!! :) Jo
Hi Jo, would this work with frozen coconut flesh? What would you suggest as I have 3 coconuts in the freezer!
I was thinking it would be a good idea to try young coconut flesh, frozen - is that what you mean? I think that would work!!
