I love lemon and coconut together, and then add vanilla and we really have a tri-fecta going on. This recipe is a nod to more traditional sorbet recipes, as opposed to the all frozen fruit version that if you have a Thermomix, you no doubt have made or at least seen in a demo or class somewhere. Whilst that method for sorbet is impressive, (I mean, the blending speed is just awesome) it is not that pleasant to eat. I can really only take a mouthful before the brain freeze sets in. And it freezes as solid as stone. So there is no serving it after it has been in the freezer for more than a couple of hours.
Traditional sorbet will keep a better texture due to the sugar content, from a syrup that you make yourself. So give this one a try, we love it, and don't stop with lemon and vanilla, think about what other juices you could treat this way. The list is pretty endless.
