Sherbet is similar to sorbet, but contains a small amount of milk. Red wine vinegar might sound unorthodox, but it melds with coconut milk to form a vegan buttermilk, which adds tanginess to this deep-red sherbet.
MAKES: 3 cups (about 3 servings)
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup plain unsweetened coconut milk beverage (not canned)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 3 cups hulled strawberries (about 22 ounces)
- 3/4 cup agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a small bowl, stir together coconut milk and vinegar, and let sit for 10 minutes. Pour into the food processor, and add the remaining ingredients. Puree until very smooth, about 1 minute. Chill, covered, until very cold, at least 2 hours.
- Freeze in an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer’s instructions (the churning process should take about 20 minutes). Scoop into a container, and freeze until the sherbet solidifies further, at least 3 hours.
