💡 Chef's Tips

  • ·

    For the best texture, ensure your ice cream maker bowl has been frozen for at least 24 hours before starting.

  • ·

    Add one tablespoon of white rum or vodka to the mixture to prevent the sorbet from freezing rock-hard.

  • ·

    Use high-quality canned coconut milk rather than the carton variety to ensure maximum creaminess.

  • ·

    Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or fresh mint leaves for a professional presentation.
