Coconut And Lychee Sorbet Recipes

REFRESHING LYCHEE & LIME SORBET

Steps:

• Drain the syrup from two cans of lychees into a small pan. Add the sugar and dissolve over a gentle heat. Bring to the boil for 1 min.
• Blitz the drained lychees in a food processor until very finely chopped. Pour in the lime juice and syrup with the blade still whirring - don't worry if the mix isn't perfectly smooth at this point. Tip into a 1-litre container and freeze for at least 6 hrs until solid.
• Break up the frozen mix, then return to the bowl of the processor. Tip in the egg white and whizz until thick, pale and smooth. Add zest from 1 lime. Return to the container and freeze again, ideally overnight. Serve in scoops with remaining lychees scattered with a remaining zest.

COCONUT AND LYCHEE SORBET

Steps:

• 1. Bring the water, sugar, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.

Pour the mixture into an ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a freezer container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving. (The sorbet is best served on the day it is made.)
• 4. Spoon the sorbet into serving bowls or glasses to serve.
