Creamy Grapefruit Sorbet (Dairy-free, Paleo)
Made with only fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, coconut cream, almond milk and honey... this all natural, Paleo, dairy-free sorbet comes together super easily.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 cups grapefruit juice I juiced 5 grapefruits to get this amount
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tbs coconut cream , divided (make sure your coconut cream has no preservatives in it)
- 3 Tbs honey
- 1/2 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Mix 3 cups grapefruit juice, 1/2 cup coconut cream, and 3 Tbs of honey in a sauce pan, and heat on the stove over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until the honey is dissolved into the mixture, about 5 mins. Side note: you can put more or less honey in yours. Taste the mixture to see if you would like it to be sweeter, prior to freezing it.
- Let the mixture cool a bit, and then pour it into ice cube trays. ( I used 2 ice cube trays).
- Freeze for 3- 3 1/2 hours, then put the grapefruit ice-cubes into the blender, with 1/2 cup almond milk and 2 Tbs coconut cream. Blend everything together. You'll need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times, and mix until you have desired consistency. If the mixture is too icey and frozen, it helps to pour everything out of the blender into a large bowl and then back into the blender for one final mix. ( If the sorbet is too liquidy, however, put it into a tupperware and into the freezer for a bit).
- Scoop, serve, and enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- It tastes best to juice your own grapefruit in this recipe. Use a citrus juicer for this recipe to make it easier.
- If you want the sorbet to be sweeter, you can add more honey. My best advice is to taste the mixture before putting it into the ice cube molds, and then if you want it sweeter, add more honey at that point.
- If the texture is too frozen after blending, try pouring it into a bowl, then pouring it back into the blender and mixing one more time.
- If the mixture isn't hard enough for you after blending, you can put it into the freezer for an hour.
- To store: put the leftovers into a tupperware and store in the freezer. It will get very hard overnight, just FYI.
