🛒 Ingredient notes
Raspberries– During the summer, We highly recommend using fresh raspberries. Their flavor is simply unparalleled! But you can easily make this sherbet with frozen raspberries any time of year.
Coconut milk – Use canned full-fat coconut milk to get creamier sherbet. Do not use the liquid-y kind of coconut milk that comes in the cartons; those are quite thin and will not make good sherbet. If you don't want/need this to be dairy-free, you can use regular heavy cream instead.
✅ Step-by-step instructions
- Place raspberries, sugar, coconut milk, and lemon juice in a blender. Puree until smooth.
- Pour the raspberry sherbet mixture into your ice cream maker bowl and follow the instructions according to your ice cream maker. We mixed mine for about 20 minutes and it was perfection. Yours might take between 20-35 minutes. Watch it until it reaches the consistently you prefer, and then turn the ice cream maker off.
Scoop into bowls and serve. Or, you can transfer the sherbet into a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze until you are ready to serve.
