Recipe: Coconut ice cream

No, I didn’t disappear from the blog! I was just once more in Brazil. For “work”. I swear!

It is really hard when they send you to a tropical country in winter where the maximum temperature now is only 24°C. Even harder if every night you have to go out to restaurants and eat lots of meat and drink lots of caipirinhas. A tough job, but someone’s got to do it, babe! 🙂

Jokes apart, I loved Brazil’s food very much. In particular, fruits are amazing there and I also sipped the insanely-good coconut water straight out of a fresh coconut (but oh, also pineapple was divine).

Since it’s quite hard to find fresh coconuts in the south of France, I have prepared a nice recipe with this great fruit to remind me of its flavour. And this is just perfect for summer: coconut ice cream!

Ingredients

80gWhole milk
200gCoconut milk
90gGranulated sugar
20gDextrose
2gIce cream stabiliser (optional)
120gHeavy cream
60gShredded coconut

Directions

1
Place the milk and coconut milk in a saucepan on medium heat
2
When the mixture reaches 40°C, add the sugar, dextrose and stabiliser mixed together
3
Cook until the mixture reaches 85°C, then remove from the heat and add the cold cream
4
Quickly chill the mixture over an ice bath and then refrigerate for 12-24 hours
5
Add the shredded coconut in the mixture and churn for around 20 minutes in an ice-cream machine (or as indicated by the manufacturer). Store in the freezer for at least a couple of hours before serving.

Note

  • The ice cream stabiliser is totally optional: it will improve the texture and creaminess of the final product, but for home preparations it can be left out
  • The maturation period of 12-24 hours is recommended to give the ice cream a better texture and consistency
