HOW TO MAKE COCONUT SORBET

Ingredients

• 200g caster sugar
• 60g liquid glucose
• 1x150g packet coconut milk powder (by Maggi, widely available)

To serve:

• raspberries and fresh coconut slivers

Method

1. Put the sugar and 400ml water into a saucepan over a gentle heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil for 2-3 minutes, take off the heat and stir in the glucose. Whisk in the coconut milk powder, pour into a jug and once cool, put in the fridge to get really cold.
2. If you're using an ice cream maker, just churn until nearly frozen and put in the freezer,. Otherwise, put in the freezer in a lidded box; once nearly frozen, whizz up and refreeze. Do this twice. Serve straight from the freezer with the raspberries and fresh coconut.
