Papaya-Lime Sorbet

Papaya-Lime Sorbet - Recipe

INGREDIENTS
8 cups peeled, seeded, and diced ripe papaya
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup coconut milk, divided
2 tablespoons lime juice, divided
1 teaspoon lime zest, divided
2 pinches salt

1. Freeze papaya overnight in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment.

2. In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is syrupy, about 4 minutes. Pour the syrup into a glass measuring cup and allow to cool 15 minutes. While syrup cools, remove papaya from freezer and allow to defrost.

3. Place half the frozen papaya in a food processor. Add half the syrup, 2 tablespoons of the coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon lime zest and a pinch of salt. Pulse twice, then process until smooth, pausing to scrape the sides and stir as necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl, then repeat process with remaining ingredients, adding them to the serving bowl when smooth.

4. Serve immediately or freeze until ready to serve.
