Servings: 6 servings; just over one pint
Cost: $3.00
Equipment
- small saucepan
- 1 ice cream maker See Below; how to make without a machine
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup red ruby grapefruit juice freshly squeezed
- 1 1/2 tablespoon red ruby grapefruit pulp*
- 1 cup coconut milk not "lite" (I use organic)
- 1/2 cup pure cane sugar I use organic
Optional Toasted Coconut Topping:
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut** toasted, I use organic
Instructions
- Add the coconut milk and sugar to a small pot, set to low heat. Stir over a simmer until the sugar is just dissolved, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Add to a medium sized bowl to fit. Add the grapefruit juice and pulp. Cool. Cover tightly and refrigerate until very cold or overnight.
- Process in an ice cream machine until firm. Scoop into a pint container, will have a little extra. Freeze and enjoy!
- ** A nice touch: Add toasted coconut on top of the sherbert! Add to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in a 300 degree oven until just golden, about 6 minutes. Keep an eye on it, can darken quickly!
Notes
*Red Ruby Grapefruit Pulp: Remove pulp from grapefruit half after you squeeze for juice. Use a fork to separate the pulp, with no white membrane pieces - adds great texture.
Freezing the Sherbet Without an Ice Cream Machine: Pour the cold sherbet mixture into a metal pan so it freezes faster, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for about four hours or until firm. Stir the mixture ever 30 - 45 minutes to break up any large ice crystals that may have formed. Then, transfer the sherbet to a container and store in the freezer.
