This salted lime sorbet always makes me dream of the rest of the world. From salty Margaritas in Mexico and especially from Tasmania. During my adventure around the world I was in Australia for almost a year. During that time, I lived on a farm in Tasmania for a long time, taking care of the farm animals while the owners were on vacation. The farm is located on a culinary road. Many tourists drive from farm to farm and eat their way through the delicacies. Along the road there are e.g. cheese factories, a chocolate factory, wineries but also viewing platforms, museums and a platypus house. I drove along this road several times, but never without a stop at the one ice cream parlor: Van Diemen’s Land Creamery. I had the best ice cream of my life there. I especially loved the “salty lime” flavor.
When I was there in 2019, they even had gluten-free ice cream cones. That feeling of licking an ice cream in a cone instead of spooning it out of a cup is very special and rare for celiacs. I missed this taste and feeling when I was back home. So, I had no choice but to create a recipe that comes as close as possible to that taste. That recipe is what I want to share with you here.
Soon, I will also post a gluten-free ice cream cone recipe here on my blog.
A scoop of this gluten-free, vegan, and salted lime sorbet with mint and coconut milk pairs perfectly with my gluten-free grilled strawberry pie. I always have a can of the homemade ice cream in the freezer, so I can treat myself with a scoop at any time. And if you don’t eat it too quickly, it lasts for months in the freezer.
