Coconut and lime sorbet
Serves 4, glutenfree (vegan possible)

This is the quickest and simplest sorbet I know. I make this at the restaurant without even using an ice cream maker although an ice cream machine will produce much finer ice crystals.

Adding the alcohol tends to lower the freezing point of the sorbet so it should be easier to scoop from the freezer - but don't add too much!

Ingredients
2 tins coconut milk
zest of two limes
Juice 4 limes
175g (6oz) caster sugar
Splash malibu or rum (optional)
Open the tins of coconut milk and place them in a large bowl. Zest two of the limes, juice all of them and add it all to the milk. Add the sugar and the alcohol and whisk it all together.

Place it into a plastic container and freeze. Try serving it with a chocolate sauce. In the restaurant I serve it with chocolate and chilli brownie.
