Do you have a recipe for sorbetes or “dirty ice-cream”? I’ve read that the only difference is that sorbetes is made with coconut milk instead of milk. I’ve been searching for a recipe with no luck.

Home-made ice cream maker: You’ll need two containers with tight lids — one big and one small. The small container has to fit inside the big container. Put your ice-cream mixture inside the small container replace the lid. Then place it inside the big container; center it, so you can put ice in the space around the small container. Then ask the kids to roll it around the table…. fun time. You can also do it the adult way and stir it, then you won’t need lids except for when you put it in the freezer.

The more ice, the better — so if you can find a really big container to put your small container in, the quicker it will be for your mixture to solidify.

Have fun!!!

My gosh, we haven’t done that in over a year. And pistachio nuts on vanilla ice cream just sounds heavenly!

I love this recipe. Hehe it reminds me of what I did before when I threw a movie-night dinner with my friends at my home. Of course we all are familiar with rootbeer float right? So instead of doing the usual – frozen mug, rootbeer and vanilla ice cream, I made a rootbeer and coffee granita. I did the exact method as you did in making the sorbet but since rootbeer and coffee is too loose, it’ll not be as smooth as your sorbet still delicious though. Then I just put softened vanilla ice cream on top with pistachio nuts!
