Its summer time now and the days are HOT here in Vegas. We love it, and treats like this piña colada sorbet help keep us cool. I try to mix things up with the frozen treats I make. Such as more decadent homemade ice cream like my coffee bean ice cream, or in popsicle form like my Mexican Paletas. We make homemade frozen treats at least once a week

Equipment needed:
- Saucepan and spoon
- Blender
- ice cream maker
- Freezer safe pan, tub or bowl with a lid
I had never made churned ice creams or sorbets at home until I got my Kitchen Aid mixer years ago that came with the ice cream maker attachment. Which was SO awesome because I had wanted the ice cream maker and I use it ALL THE TIME!!
I also use my Cuisinart ice cream maker since I make a lot of homemade ice cream and sorbet, I needed two ice cream makers. And I have a chest freezer with enough freezer space to keep both bowls frozen. BUT - you don't need either to make this sorbet. You can make it no-churn as well.
Ingredients needed for this recipe:
- Coconut milk
- Crushed pineapple (fresh or canned)
- Pineapple juice (either from a can or jar or the leftover juice from the canned pineapple)
- honey
- shredded coconut - unsweetened and toated
- Rum - completely optional
How to make homemade sorbet:
- This recipe starts with heating the coconut milk and honey together first then letting it cool.
- Half of the crushed pineapple gets blended with the coconut milk mixture until smooth
- The remaining crushed pineapple, toasted coconut and optional rum are mixed in
- Chilled until ready to churn
- For no churn option - pour mixture into a freezer safe bowl, tub or even a high sided pan ( like a brownie pan) and stir once an hour until firm-ish.
Pro Tip:
Although the rum is optional, you can add in a little bit of rum or vodka even just to keep the sorbet scoopable once frozen.
Is this sorbet non-dairy?
Does Piña Colada sorbet contain alcohol?
Can I make sorbet without an ice cream maker?
While ice cream is delicious, I don't do a whole lot of dairy consumption myself. So I stick to ices, popsicles and sorbets. This piña colada sorbet is non-dairy since it uses coconut milk. Usually when I make full-dairy ice cream its for my husband and kids who happily consume it.
