Coconut Basil Sorbet

  • In a sauce pan, add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat. While that cooks, add egg yolks to a bowl and whisk.
  • Once coconut milk is steaming, temper eggs by adding a small amount of the warmed coconut milk into the egg yolks and whisking continuously so the mixture cools. Continue doing this until the coconut milk has been transferred to the egg yolks completely. This is the base of the sorbet.
  • Combine the sorbet base with the basil simple syrup.
  • Transfer to ice cream maker and churn until frozen and creamy.
