Ingredients

3 Tbsp coconut milk

1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar

1/8 tsp imitation coconut extract or flavor

1/2 cup lemon lime flavored soda

1/2 cup pineapple sherbet

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt

2 Tbsp light corn syrup

2 Tbsp heavy cream

3 cups chilled pineapple puree that has been forced through a fine sieve

Directions

In a bowl whisk together coconut milk, sugar and imitation coconut extract. Stir mixture about 30 seconds until sugar dissolves. Pour lemon lime soda into mixture and give it a quick stir . Scoop pineapple sherbet into a glass then pour soda mixture over sherbet. Serve immediately. *If you don't have an ice cream maker you could also use store bought pineapple sherbet, but if you do then I think the homemade sherbet is a must =). My recipe for Pineapple Sherbet is mostly pineapple where as store bought is often mostly water and sugar.
