Ingredients
- •1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- •1/2 cup granulated sugar
- •1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- •1 tablespoon lime zest
- •1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- •2 tablespoons honey
- •Pinch of salt
Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
- 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to enhance the lime flavor.
- 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.
- 4
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash the fresh raspberries with the honey until the mixture is smooth but slightly chunky. Set aside.
- 5
Once the coconut-lime mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- 6
Transfer the churned sorbet to a freezer-safe container. Spoon dollops of the raspberry mixture over the sorbet and gently swirl it in with a knife or skewer, creating a marbled effect.
- 7
Cover the container and freeze the sorbet for at least 4 hours or until firm. Serve scoops of the chilled sorbet in bowls or cones and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I substitute the full-fat coconut milk with a lighter version?
A: While you can use light coconut milk, the sorbet's texture may be less creamy and more icy. Full-fat coconut milk is recommended for the best rich and smooth consistency.
Q: Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh lime juice?
A: Fresh lime juice is highly recommended for the best flavor, as bottled lime juice may have a less vibrant taste and could contain preservatives that alter the sorbet's overall quality.
Q: What can I use instead of honey for the raspberry swirl?
A: You can substitute honey with maple syrup, agave syrup, or even granulated sugar. Adjust the sweetness to your preference by tasting the raspberry mixture as you prepare it.
Q: What if I don’t have an ice cream maker?
A: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the chilled coconut-lime mixture into a shallow baking dish and freeze it. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency. Then swirl in the raspberry mixture.
Q: How should I store leftover sorbet?
A: Store the sorbet in an airtight, freezer-safe container. To prevent ice crystals from forming, press a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper directly on the surface before sealing the lid. The sorbet is best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks.
Q: Why is my sorbet too hard to scoop after freezing?
A: Homemade sorbet can freeze very firm due to the lack of stabilizers. Let the container sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping to soften it slightly.
Q: Can I add other fruits or flavors to the recipe?
A: Yes, you can experiment with other fruits like mango, passion fruit, or strawberries for the swirl. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of shredded coconut to enhance the flavors. Just ensure the added fruits are mashed or pureed for easy swirling.
