I LOVE coconut ice cream and gelato and was so pleased to have had a friend give this recipe to me. Most of the time, I leave the sweetened flaked coconut out since I don't particularly care for the added texture, but that's just me. My friend who makes this all of the time uses a sweetened flaked coconut that is found in the freezer section of the supermarket and says that the taste is better. Experiment and enjoy! :) Ingredients:
1 cup milk |
14 ounces cream of coconut (not coconut milk) |
1 1/2 cups heavy cream |
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine everything except the flaked coconut.
2. Put in ice cream maker and prepare according to manufacturer's instructions.
3. Add flakes 5 minutes before ice cream is ready, if desired.
4. Note: This recipe could either be made up as ice cream or a gelato. If you use whole milk, you will get ice cream. If you exchange the heavy cream for whole milk (so the entire recipe uses 2 1/2 cups of milk), you have gelato. If you use a low-fat milk with the heavy cream, you get something in between.
