Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil, for baking sheet
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup cashews, toasted
1 pint coconut sorbet
1 cup drained canned lychees

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Bring sugar and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat, stirring constantly until sugar has dissolved. Cook, without stirring, until mixture turns medium amber, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush as needed to prevent crystals from forming, about 9 minutes.
