It all started with mango - the craze for tropical flavored sorbets. Now, the "it" flavor is coconut, and The San Franicsco Chronicle has done a taste test of store-bought products. Two coconut sorbets tied for first place with 69 out of 100 points: Ciao Bella and Sharon's, which is the best deal since it's only $1.99 at Trader Joe's. Palapa Azul and Mudslinger's FreeStyle tied for second, and the last two, Seattle Sorbets and Whole Fruit were dissed for an "artificial taste."
Of course, you can also make coconut sorbet at home. Sharp Cookie is Loco for Coconut Sorbet, The Scent of Green Bananas keeps it simple with just three ingredients, and Andrea's Recipe Box experiments with Cream of Coconut.
