Spicy Coconut Sorbet
- 2 (13- to 14-ounce) cans coconut milk, shaken well before opening
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 Thai chiles, slit open
- 1 tablespoon tequila
- Pour the coconut milk into a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and stir in the brown sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, decrease the heat to low so that it is barely simmering, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the brown sugar is fully melted and the coconut milk is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the chiles, cover, and remove from the heat.
- Let steep for an hour.
- Pour the coconut milk into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- Stir in the tequila.
- Cover with plastic wrap, transfer to the refrigerator, and let it thoroughly chill for several hours, preferably overnight.
- Once the mixture is very cold, fish out the chiles, then taste.
- If the sorbet base isnt spicy enough for you, open up one of the chiles, scrape in a few of the seeds, and stir to combine.
- Transfer the cold sorbet base to an ice-cream maker and process according to the manufacturers instructions.
- The sorbet can be stored frozen, covered in an airtight container, for a few weeks.
