Sorbet is something that the Thermomix does extremely well. It's also something that I haven't made a lot of. Now that I've made pineapple sorbet this afternoon, I cannot understand the lack of sorbet making activities in this house. The texture is simply divine. Smooth, creamy, melt in your mouth. And when combined with the creamy, coconut icecream, the taste transports me away to a remote tropical island where the water gently laps at my toes as I lie on the beach in the shade of a palm tree...
