Hi Laura. If you are concerned about added sugar, you may want to check the label of the cream of coconut, as most have added sugar or sweeteners.

Yay this is awesome, I used to love the Coconut Sorbet made by Ciao Bella because it was free of additional sweetners (coconut is already plenty sweet as is) but recently Ciao Bella changed their recipe and added cane sugar to the ingredients looks like they lost one customer and the ice cream/ sorbet machines gained 1 I’ve been looking for a comparable coconut sorbet recipe for a few weeks now, I will give yours a shot and report my results later as soon as I’m off this gawd forsaken diet >..<

@Clare–
I know your comment was made over a year ago, so I know you might never see this, but just FYI: this recipe is hardly “sweetener-free.” Canned cream of coconut has tons of sugar in it. It’s not the same as canned coconut milk.

For my purposes, this recipe looks good (found it googling around for a coconut sorbet recipe), but for yours, it doesn’t seem appropriate.

Yay! A sweetener-free coconut sorbet recipe! I’ve been trying to think of a gluten-free, vegan, sugar/ maple syrup/ stevia/ any sweetener-free dessert to take to a pot luck (yep, really), and I settled on making a sugar-free fruit sorbet (mango or pineapple) and was wondering whether a sugar-free coconut one to ‘match’ would be tasty or bland. Well, seems you did it and enjoyed it, so… make it I will. Might make a peach sorbet and sweeten the coconut with peach juice, and stir through loads of toasted coconut too, just for texture.

Hi Andrea-

This is the first time I’ve seen your blog. Very cool, as I thought my closest blogging companion ws over in Virginia Beach!

At any rate, I tried making a coconut sorbet once before, and thought the final results rather ‘meh’. I like your idea of adding lime zest, I may have to make another attempt.
