Coconut Sorbet
Coconut sorbet is an exotic and refreshing dessert that combines the silky texture of coconut milk with the freshness of lime. The coconut is one of the oldest tropical fruits, used for centuries in Asia and the Caribbean. The first sorbets were consumed in ancient Rome, when snow flavored with honey and fruit juice was chilled. In the modern version, the natural creaminess of coconut and the slightly tart notes of lime create a perfect harmony, resulting in a light, icy dessert. Imagine a spoonful of coconut sorbet melting in your mouth, refreshing and invigorating with every bite!

Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes.
2
Let the sugar syrup cool completely. Then, stir in the coconut milk, lime juice, and shredded coconut.
3
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer.
4
Every 30 minutes, scrape the sorbet with a fork to create a crystalline texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times until it's completely frozen.
5
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and shredded coconut.
