Instructions

Prepare the Strawberry Mixture:

Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries, removing the green leaves and stems. Chop them into small pieces for easy blending.
Blend the Strawberries: Place the chopped strawberries in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary.
Add Sweeteners and Flavorings: Add the maple syrup (or honey), lime juice (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the strawberry puree. Blend again until well combined and smooth.
Mix in Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk and blend until everything is well incorporated. The coconut milk will help create the creamy texture of the sorbet.

Freeze the Sorbet:

Transfer to a Container: Pour the strawberry coconut mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula for even freezing.
Freeze the Mixture: Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. If you have an ice cream machine, you can use it to churn the mixture for a smoother consistency.
Stir Occasionally: If you’re not using an ice cream maker, stir the sorbet every 30-60 minutes to break up any ice crystals and help achieve a smoother texture. This is especially important for the first 2-3 hours of freezing.

Serve the Sorbet:

Scoop and Serve: Once the sorbet is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, tropical flavors of your homemade strawberry coconut milk sorbet.
