  • 1 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Cup Filtered Water
  • ⅓ Cup Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk

Instructions
 

  • Add fresh lemon juice, water, and sweetened condensed coconut milk into a high-speed blender.
  • Blend the lemon mixture on high for about 30 seconds.
  • Pour the mixture into a freezer safe aright container. Freeze for about 6 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the container from the freezer and let it defrost for about 10 minutes.
  • Break the frozen lemon sorbet into smaller chunks and add them into a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Use an ice cream scoop to serve!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Pour the lemon mixture into silicone ice cube trays to make it easier to blend.
  • Don't forget to scrape down the edges with a spatula while the sorbet is blending.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a heavy-duty blender like a Vitamix. Both will achieve the right consistency.
  • For best results, use fresh lemons to make this recipe. If you'd like to save on prep time, my favorite store-bought organic lemon juice is from the brand Santa Cruz.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to serve.
  • You can enjoy this sorbet right out of the freezer, but it will be a bit icy. I highly recommend the second blend to create a creamier texture.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftover lemon sorbet should be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. Make sure you use a freezer-safe container!
When it comes out of the freezer, you will need to let it defrost for about 10 minutes before trying to scoop it out.
I highly recommend you blend it again to create a creamier consistency before serving.
