Coconut Sorbet
- 2 1/2 cups coconut milk, canned or freshly made (page 318)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Generous pinch of salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and corn syrup and place over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring or whisking gently, until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla.
- Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to chill well and develop the flavor.
- The mixture separates as it sits, so whisk to reblend, and then freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturers directions.
- Prepare the base a day or two in advance of churning and let it chill and develop flavor in the refrigerator.
- Churn the sorbet or ice cream at least 2 hours before serving, pack tightly into a container to prevent crystallization, and place in the freezer to firm up and smooth.
- Let the sorbet or ice cream stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften before serving.
- The flavor of a sorbet or ice cream fades after 3 or 4 days.
- To revive it, thaw it until it is once again a liquid, make any flavor adjustments, and refreeze in an ice-cream maker.
