Ingredients
- 2 cans (13.5 oz each) coconut milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded coconut (optional, for extra texture)
- 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Ice cream cones or bowls, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Coconut Sorbet: In a blender, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined. If desired, add shredded coconut for extra texture and blend briefly to incorporate.
- Chill the Mixture: Transfer the coconut sorbet mixture to a shallow dish or baking pan and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the freezer and chill for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Shape the Sorbet: Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, scoop out balls of the chilled coconut sorbet and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Return the sorbet balls to the freezer while you prepare the chocolate shell.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Sorbet: Remove the coconut sorbet balls from the freezer. Working quickly, dip each sorbet ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to fully coat it. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated sorbet ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Harden the Shell: Once all the sorbet balls are coated in chocolate, return the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is firm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate shell is set, remove the Coconut Sorbet in Ice Cream Shells from the freezer and serve immediately in ice cream cones or bowls. Enjoy the tropical flavors and contrasting textures of creamy coconut sorbet encased in a crunchy chocolate shell!
