Vanilla Coconut Pine Lime Sorbet
Well the weather’s finally starting to warm up. I’m so ready for spring, summer and SORBET! This is just a quick post to try out my new laptop (yay!) and share my new favourite flavour of sorbet. It’s so refreshing, a perfect intro to the warmer weather.
These flavours were inspired by what’s been in my veggie box lately. Creamy and tropical, this is a great one for those of us who need a dairy free replacement for ice cream… you’d swear it has cream in it! I’m so addicted to coconut cream ice-creams. I hope you like it too.
Note: You will need to freeze the pineapple pieces and the coconut cream ahead of time!
You can find fine sea salt and vanilla powder for this recipe in my online store!

Yummo! I just made strawberry kiwi fruit and coconut sorbert tonight. Butthis will bethenext one i make.i have leftover coconut cream in the ice block tray already.
Mmmm, strawberry-kiwi-coconut sounds gorgeous too! I’ll have to try yours!! 🙂
Hey — another great recipe using coconut butter! (btw: thanks for linking to my blog 🙂 I love limes so will have to try this. Since getting Thermomix I find that I am ALWAYS zesting every citrus fruit I use. Even if the recipe calls for “juice of one lemon” for example, I’ll zest it first and toss the zest into a “zest baggie” that I keep in the freezer. The frozen zest comes in so handy for adding extra zing to sorbets and other recipes too.
I’ll be shopping for limes later today — thanks Jo 🙂
Hi Jo, Sorry for asking the obvious, but was wondering if this would work with your coconut butter frozen or should I just use coconut cream from a tin. I wondered if the coconut butter would add a more creamy texture like an icecream if I left out the ice and everything else was frozen.
thanks, Sharon
Hi Sharon, actually, I haven’t tried coconut butter – I think it would be a bit hard to chop up. I would stick with the coconut cream – it really is creamy as it is but feel free to use all coconut cream and no ice if you like!
Jo 🙂
wow this looks awesome. it must be some machine.
It IS some machine!!! 😀 We call it the ‘Dream Machine’! lol
If you want to see a demo let me know. There’s no obligation to buy – it’s not like a Tupperware party – just a cooking demonstration where the consultant makes 6 dishes: sorbet, bread, dip, salad, risotto or pasta and custard. Yum! 🙂
Cheers for this recipe, Jo. I absolutely adore coconut cream and the idea of slurping it down in a frozen dreamy concoction such as this sends my head spinning – for the nearest tin opener! I’ll be sure to check out Helene’s Thermomix kitchen store (http://www.superkitchenmachine.com/shop-thermomix/thermomix-kitchen-store) for ice cube trays to freeze it. Cheers!
Good plan, Madame Thermomix!! 🙂
I just wanted to thank you so much for you wonderful blog and all your time and effort! And thank you for helping me figure out the pizza crust via chat! I love all your recipes and looking through everything has given me a great deal of confidence to cook as a new wife with a new gluten problem who is far away from home! Thank you!
Valerie
Oh, thank you Valerie 🙂 I’m so glad to hear I’ve been of help!

Hi Jo, just wondering if it still works with no egg white? I have a friend who’s allergic to eggs, but just found out her daughter is allergic to dairy. (sending her over to your blog!! :-). )
thanks, Clare
Hi Clare, yes, this works fine without the egg white, as the coconut cream helps it to not be so icy. Thanks for sending your friend over!! 🙂 Jo
Hi Jo, would this work with frozen coconut flesh? What would you suggest as I have 3 coconuts in the freezer!
I was thinking it would be a good idea to try young coconut flesh, frozen – is that what you mean? I think that would work!!
I just made this Jo and it’s so yummy! Thanks!
Hi Jo, what about a dash of vanilla instead of the pod, what do you think?
Sure!
Made this tonight to soothe my sore throat. Worked a treat. Will make again.
Had trouble getting mine to mix. Used turbo a few times and then speed 10. Eventually made yummy sorbet.
Just use your Thermomix spatula to mix as you blend. 🙂
YUUMMM sounds so good! I’m going to try this tomorrow in time for a lovely weekend treat!
Hi, can I store this sorbet in the freezer?
Sure can! It may go a little harder so let it sit on the bench a few minutes before serving. 🙂
