Directions: |
Directions:In a bowl whisk together coconut milk, sugar and imitation coconut extract. Stir mixture about 30 seconds until sugar dissolves. Pour lemon lime soda into mixture and give it a quick stir (you just don't want to stir out the carbonation so barely stir once you add the soda just to combine ingredients). Scoop pineapple sherbet into a glass then pour soda mixture over sherbet. Serve immediately.
*If you don't have an ice cream maker you could also use store bought pineapple sherbet, but if you do then I think the homemade sherbet is a must =). My recipe for Pineapple Sherbet is mostly pineapple where as store bought is often mostly water and sugar.
Pineapple Sherbet
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk and sugar until sugar has dissolved. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to manufacturers directions. Freeze mixture until firm about 3 hours.
**To make the puree, peel and core a pineapple. Dice pineapple and place in a food processor. Puree pineapple 1-2 minutes until very smooth. Force puree through a fine sieve into a bowl, then measure out 3 cups for recipe and chill completely. |
