Coconut Ice Cream

🍰 Desserts

Two-ingredient coconut ice cream, the vegan scoop that tastes like a beach holiday. A proper small-batch scoop that melts slowly and cleanly. Serve in chilled bowls or cones straight from the freezer.

Prep 27 min Cook 1 min Serves 7 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Milk1 cup
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Lime2
  • Coconut Milk1 cup
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Grated Coconut1 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    If using an ice cream maker, freeze the bowl a full day ahead and chill the custard base overnight.

  2. 2

    Combine the sugar with the grated coconut, stirring until no grains remain, then chill the base.

  3. 3

    Blend in the coconut milk — taste again; the frozen version will be less sweet and less intense than this.

  4. 4

    Churn in the ice cream maker until thick and soft-serve texture, 20-25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Ripen in the freezer overnight for the cleanest scoops.

Chef's tip

Room-temperature ingredients blend smoother — pull the dairy and eggs out of the fridge an hour ahead.
