Ingredients
  

  • 4 limes
  • 2 kiwis
  • 1 can of coconut milk I froze mine ahead of time
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or agave

Instructions
 

  • Wash and slice the limes lengthwise.
  • Use a knife to cut out the flesh of the lime. *Be careful not to cut into the rind because it's very bitter and will give your sorbet a bitter taste! Then scoop out the flesh of each lime and set it aside. Save the lime skin as you will use that as the vessel for your sorbet.
  • Cut and peel the kiwis and add them to a blender along with the lime flesh, canned coconut milk, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Note: I froze the canned coconut milk into ice cubes ahead of time, but that is optional.
  • Pour the lime & kiwi mixture back into the lime cups. You will have some mixture leftover, so add that to a freezer-friendly container. Freeze both the lime cups and the remaining mixture for 4-6 hours.
  • When taking the sorbet out of the freezer, allow it to slightly thaw at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Then dig in and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cut it right: Make sure you scoop out the flesh of the limes correctly, and don’t add any of that white pith into the mixture, as it can be quite bitter. Also, remember to remove any seeds that you might find. 
  • Storing: This easy lime sorbet can be stored for up to a month, if not longer. Make sure you use a good quality freezer-safe container to store it to prevent freezer burn. 
  • Line the storage container: Place a piece of parchment paper in the container before adding the sorbet. This way, when you get it out, scooping and getting the lime sorbet out of the sides of the container will be easier!
