Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the sorbet mixture in a shallow dish and stir it every 30 minutes until it's frozen. This will take longer than using an ice cream maker, but it will still yield a delicious sorbet.
• To make a vegan version of this sorbet, substitute coconut milk or almond milk for the coconut cream and melted butter.
• For a boozy twist, add an extra 1/4 cup of rum to the mixture.
