Mango-Coconut Sherbet
















This Mango-Coconut Sherbet is pretty much amazing.  I've had my KitchenAid Ice Cream Mixer attachment for over a year or two now, but I've never attempted to make any sherbets!  I was also pleased that this recipe comes together so quickly.  As long as you have your ice cream maker ready, all you need to do is puree the ingredients and then churn!  Within 30 minutes you could be enjoying some homemade goodness.

You can find this recipe in the June 2011 issue of Cooking Light (love that magazine!).

  4. This sounds delicious...I have a KitchenAid as well.

    How well does it serve the next day after being frozen? I've had rock-hard frozen desserts just about every time I put them in the freezer overnight.

  5. It's hard to scoop the next day, however, if you let it sit for 10-15 minutes then it's fine.
