Description

A refreshing and subtly floral sorbet, perfect for a hot summer day or a light dessert after a rich meal. The delicate pink hue adds a touch of elegance.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 40 ounce (1134 g) cans lychees in syrup
  • 2 raspberries
  • 2 cups (473 ml) 100% coconut water
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosewater
  • 1 tablespoon dried rose petals

Instructions

  1. Blend lychees in their syrup and raspberries until smooth.
  2. Add coconut water and rosewater; mix to combine.
  3. Place mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour into a freezer-proof container and freeze for 5-6 hours.
  4. Alternatively, pour mixture into a freezer-proof container and freeze. After 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape the frozen edges into the middle. Return to the freezer. Repeat this scraping process twice more at 30-minute intervals before leaving to freeze for 5-6 hours or overnight.
  5. To serve, scoop into small bowls or sturdy cupcake wrappers and garnish with rose petals.

Notes

  • For a stronger rose flavor, increase rosewater to 1 teaspoon, or add a few drops of rose essential oil.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, the no-churn method works well; however, the sorbet may have a slightly icier texture.
  • Leftover sorbet can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
