Fresh Coconut Ice Cream Food

FRESH COCONUT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium sauce pan, combine the coconut milk, cream and sugar, heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool completely then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before churning.
• Add the mixture to your ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Mix until you reach the desired consistency.
• Add the freshly grated coconut once the mixture thickens and is ready to be transferred to a freezer container.
• Freeze until ready to serve, at least 1 hour. Garnish with toasted coconut or coconut upon serving.
• To toast coconut: In a small skillet over low heat melt a small amount of butter (about a teaspoon per cup of grated coconut). Once melted, add coconut and stir to coat. Allow to toast (be patient) stirring occasionally, being extremely careful not to burn the coconut. Once toasted, spread out on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container until ready to use.

Steps:

• In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the half-and-half, sugar, coconut, and salt, over medium heat. Bring the cream to the boiling point and scald it. Remove from the heat. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Add the cream mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, to the beaten eggs, whisking in between each addition, until all is used.
• Pour the mixture into a saucepan, and cook, stirring, over medium heat, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
• Pour the filling into the ice cream machine and follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning time.

COCONUT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Mix the coconut cream powder and the warm water together. Spoon a bit of the liquid into the cornstarch to liquefy, and then add back into the coconut milk mix. Add sugar and salt and bring to a boil. If lumps form for any reason, strain them out. Cool mixture and use in your ice cream maker.
• Delicious!
• You can also do the poor man's freeze ice cream where you freeze, scrape, freeze, scrape like granita but the texture is not going to be as nice as the ice cream machine.
• If your ice cream maker only makes a quart at at a time then just double the recipe.
