Lemon-Lime Coconut Sorbet
You’re going to flip for this dreamy, dairy-free dessert. Here’s the scoop: It has a sweet and tart lemony-lime flavor with a creamy coconut finish.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lime juice, 2 to 3 limes
- ¼ cup lemon juice, 1½ to 2 lemons
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1½ cups unsweetened canned light coconut milk
Instructions
- Stir all the ingredients together in a bowl. Place in a wide flat container with a lid or cover tightly with foil. Freeze until solid for a few hours or overnight.
- Once frozen, break it up with a fork so it’s manageable to place in a food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately or place back in a quart container and store in the freezer.
Notes
• For a tasty spin, mix all the ingredients until well blended and add to popsicle molds. It’s a great and easy alternative to scooped creamy sorbet.
Note: If you don’t like coconut milk, feel free to swap in almond milk, although the consistency will be less creamy and much icier like a granita…which is still delicious (you may also need to add a splash more almond milk to the food processor before blending). Whichever milk you choose, this chilly treat will surely cool you off and delight your taste buds. Kick back and grab a spoon!

I have made this exactly like the recipe and we love it. But can I just put it in popsicle molds right away?
Also I make the banana peanut butter and chocolate bites all the time. We love them very much. It’s a great treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Thanks for the great recipes.
Hi Vivian! You can certainly mix the ingredients until well blended and add to popsicle molds. It’s a great, easy alternative to scooped creamy sorbet.
Approximately what size “wide flat container?”
Hi Cali! A wide, shallow container is key here…think big surface area, not deep walls. You want the mixture to freeze in a thin enough layer that you can easily snap it into pieces for blending later. Most medium or large food-storage containers work great, and even a 9×13 casserole dish can do the trick. Just double-check the depth: if the mixture sits too thick, it’ll freeze into a solid brick that’s harder to break up. I wouldn’t use a baking sheet, though — the sides are too low and the liquid could spill. Enjoy! — Eliza (Team Joy)
