Traditional coconut ice cream

Let's make coconut ice cream. As is, without further ado, the usual: I bring the recipe for an easy, quick coconut ice cream with a coconut flavor, which is what we lovers of this fruit fallen from heaven (well, from tropical palm trees, but from the sky too).

To make the traditional coconut ice cream we will only need:

• A saucepan to heat the initial mixture
• Let the mixture rest for a few hours, so that it takes on the coconut flavor and the mixture cools before buttering it.
• An ice cream maker: you have some very cheap options for ice cream makers without a compressor (to make ice cream at the moment) in our ice cream and yogurt makers section , others that go up more in price with a compressor to make homemade ice cream in quantity (the Magimix ice cream maker , the star in France ), or you can use one of the star accessories of the KitchenAid robot, the brand's refrigerator accessory .

The mixture will be very simple, because as I said we will make coconut ice cream. No more no less. So you only need coconut milk, cooking cream, sugar and grated coconut. And you will see how rich it is!

Ingredients

• 500ml coconut milk
• 200 ml of cooking cream (35% mg)
• 180 grams of sugar
• 45 gr of coconut flakes

Preparation

1. In a saucepan, introduce the coconut milk, the cooking cream and the sugar. Bring to the heat, on low/medium power, and stir until the mixture is hot (but not boiling) and the sugar dissolves.
2. Stop the heat and, without stopping stirring, add the coconut flakes.
3. Let it cool down, and store it covered in a container or bowl in the fridge for a few hours (minimum 3 hours).
4. After that time, remove it from the fridge, stir the mixture and prepare the KitchenAid accessory in the robot (if you are going to do it in the KitchenAid robot), or prepare the refrigerator in which you will make the ice cream.
5. Turn on the refrigerator and, with the blades running, begin to pour the mixture inside, with the KitchenAid at 2/4 power. Let it work until the ice cream is buttered (about 18 or 20 minutes).
6. You can enjoy it right away if you like it creamy and somewhat melty, or keep it in an airtight container or the Revol mold with a lid in the freezer to consume after a few hours, which will have frozen completely.
7. When serving, sprinkle some grated coconut shavings on top. The triumph will be total if you pour melted dark chocolate on top... Mmmmh!

Grades

• Remember that if you make the ice cream with the KitchenAid accessory, or in a refrigerator without a compressor, the accessory must have been in the freezer for a minimum of 24 hours, so that its interior liquid freezes enough to stay cold for as long as it takes to keep the ice cream. frozen.
• Eye! In case of using the KitchenAid refrigerator, it is very important to turn on the robot first, before starting to pour the mixture - otherwise the mixture would crystallize when touching the refrigerator and it would not butter properly. First we turn on the robot so that the blade begins to rotate, and while it is running we add the mixture.
• When serving it, you can accompany it with a little strawberry or raspberry syrup, or pour caramel on top. Without a doubt, you will be right if you accompany it with dark chocolate.
