Hello, my gorgeous people!
If you’ve been here already, welcome back! If you are new here, welcome to my blog. I’m Kreamy Vegan, and I love sharing my tips and ways to live a sustainable and delicious life.
In today’s blog post, we are going to take a tropical culinary trip with coconuts and lime. These two fruits are not only tropical but also quite exotic to me. They remind me of a beautiful tropical beach with palm trees and the warm Sun. This coconut lime sorbet is, in my biased opinion, the real coconut lime sorbet because it uses whole fruits of lime and many ingredients from the coconuts, such as coconut milk, water, and sugar.
Then let’s get to know about the coconut lime sorbet.
Introduction to Coconut Lime Sorbet Recipe
1. The Best Sorbet
Sorbet, with its refreshing texture and vibrant flavors, is the best dessert during the summertime. (But you can eat it any time of the year, of course, like me. 
)
Fruit Sorbet Types
First of all, the most well-known type of sorbet is fruit sorbet. Fruit sorbets can be made as easily as freezing whole fruits and processing them in a blender or an ice cream maker like my Ninja Creami ice cream machine. But there are some ways to upgrade your sorbet!
Capturing the essence of ripe fruits and enhancing their flavors is the key to making the best fruit sorbet.
There are also tropical sorbets like this coconut lime sorbet I’m sharing with you today.

2. Equipment Needed: Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker Review
I got my Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker about a year ago, and needless to say, I use it often and love it! It makes really good ice cream in such a short period of time, but there are some cons to having it, like the pretty big noise it makes. If you are interested, read my detailed Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker review here.
My Ice Cream Maker Pick
1. Ninja NC501 CREAMi Delux 11-in-1 Ice Cream Maker
This is the latest model of the Ninja Creami ice cream maker. You can choose 11 settings, from scoopable to drinkable frozen treat options.
2. Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
If you are still not quite sure about the Ninja Creami Deluxe, there is an older and less expensive version. It has seven one-touch programs like ice cream, gelato, mix-ins, milkshakes, sorbet, smoothie bowls, and more.

Benefits of Homemade Coconut Lime Sorbet
1. Using Many Parts of Coconuts
For the coconut lime sorbet recipe, we are going to use many parts of the coconuts to enjoy the coconuts to the fullest. What are the coconut ingredients for the coconut lime sorbet recipe? Here’s the list.
- Coconut milk
- Coconut water
- Coconut sugar
In most recipes, either coconut milk or water is used—or just coconut milk and water. But we are going to use coconut sugar as a sweetener in this sorbet to make this recipe a real coconut lime sorbet!
2. Using All Parts of Limes
Just like how we are using all parts of coconuts to create this coconut lime sorbet, we are also using all parts of lime – the fruit slices (not just the juice!) and the zest. It makes the sorbet even more rich in texture and nutrition.
Using all parts of coconuts and limes, we make real-deal homemade coconut lime sorbet.
3. Vegan and Dairy-Free
Sorbet is naturally vegan and dairy-free, whereas sherbets can contain some dairy. But one of the great things about coconut recipes is that you create a creamy, rich flavor and texture with just coconuts! (Although, some coconut recipes still contain dairy or animal products.)
So if you are vegan, lactose-intolerant, or health-conscious, this coconut lime sorbet is the perfect dessert for you!
Then should we get into the real-deal coconut lime sorbet recipe? Let’s go!

Product Recommendation for Coconut Lime Sorbet
1. Coconut Sugar
My Pick
Coconut sugar has a brown color, making our coconut lime sorbet slightly brown. But I love the lightly caramel-like taste in the sorbet, which makes the taste so unique.
Also, despite the small difference, coconut sugar has a lower GI index than regular table sugar. Coconut sugar has a GI of 54, while regular sugar has 60. So it’s a bit healthier, as it increases the blood sugar level slightly less than regular sugar.
2. Sparkling Soda for Sorbet Float
My Pick
Betty Buzz Premium Sparkling Soda Citrus Variety Pack
Have you made sorbet floats? They are my favorite way to have sorbet! And this creamy and refreshing coconut lime sorbet would make a gorgeous sorbet float. You can put some gourmet soda in a champagne or a wine glass first, then put a scoop of sorbet on top. You can decorate it with more berries, fruits, or mint leaves to make it even fancier.
Make a gorgeous sorbet float with this premium sparkling soda with a citrus kick! Betty Buzz has Sparkling Soda with a citrus variety pack of 12, including sparkling grapefruit, lemon-lime, and club soda. 
Delicious.
