Miami Vice Sorbet
A very delicious recipe to try out my new ice cream maker, both of which were a very nice birthday treat. :)
Ingredients:
for the pina colada sorbet:
3 cups fresh pineapple, cubed
1 cup coconut water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light coconut milk
1 tbsp rum
2/3 cup cream of coconut
for the strawberry daiquiri swirl:
1 pound fresh strawberries, rinsed and hulled
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp rum
3 cups fresh pineapple, cubed
1 cup coconut water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light coconut milk
1 tbsp rum
2/3 cup cream of coconut
for the strawberry daiquiri swirl:
1 pound fresh strawberries, rinsed and hulled
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp rum
Directions:
Make sure your ice cream maker has been in the freezer for 12+ hours.
For the pina colada base, place the pineapple, coconut water, and sugar in a blender and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in the coconut milk and cream of coconut. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until thoroughly chilled.
Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions (mine is for 25-30 minutes).
While the pina colada sorbet is churning, prepare the strawberry daiquiri swirl. Cut up the strawberries and stir them into a bowl with the sugar and rum. Let mixture stand for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour, stirring occasionally.
Puree the strawberry mixture in a blender until smooth. Press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the bulk of the seeds. Cover and place mixture in the freezer for about 20 minutes, using a fork to stir the frozen pieces up every 5 minutes.
When the pina colada base in done, transfer to a 9x13" pan. Dollop the semi-frozen strawberry daiquiri mixture on top of the pina colada and use a knife to swirl the two together. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and place in freezer for about an hour before serving.
I had some really good fresh fruit, so I could have done with less sugar- I'd probably cut both parts in half next time. And I heaped the cups a little too much when I was measuring the pineapple- by the time it was finished freezing the ice cream was nearly overflowing the bowl. I would also put the strawberry mixture in the freezer earlier- it was barely frozen at all, so the two mixed together more than swirled. It still turned out a delicious batch of refreshing sorbet that I will definitely be making again. :)
