This Toasted Coconut Ice Cream recipe starts with homemade coconut milk made by soaking toasted coconut flakes in milk. Toasting coconut enhances its natural sweetness and gives it a slightly nutty and caramelized flavor. When the coconut-soaked milk is combined with whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla, you end up with a smooth and creamy coconutty infusion. Toasted Coconut Ice Cream can be enjoyed on its own or paired with other desserts like warm pineapple upside-down cake or topped with a homemade strawberry sauce. It's also a great base for creating your own tropical sundaes, adding toppings like fresh mango chunks, crushed pineapple, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. It adds a distinct coconut flavor that transports you to a sunny beach, even if you're enjoying it at home.
Products Used
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut
- 3 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 cups whipping cream
- Pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Optional: 4 tablespoons coconut liqueur
Strawberry Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup very ripe, fresh strawberries
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Scatter coconut evenly on 2 cookie sheets. Place in oven and do not walk far as coconut will quickly burn. It should be light golden brown within about 5-6 minutes.
- Bring whole milk and toasted coconut to a full boil. Remove from heat and let mixture steep for at least 1 hour or for optimum flavor overnight in the refrigerator.
- Strain mixture and discard coconut. Re-measure strained milk to obtain exactly 2 cups. (Coconut will have absorbed a lot of milk.)
- Bring milk back to a boil with sugar. Remove from heat and add whipping cream, salt, and vanilla extract. Add liqueur if using.
- To ensure a smooth ice cream, it is essential that the ice cream mixture is very cold before pouring it into an ice cream maker. Therefore first place it in a bowl filled with ice water before churning.
- Churn ice cream according to the machine manufacturer’s directions.
- For strawberry sauce: Bring sugar and water to a full boil and set aside until cold.
- Wash strawberries and cut them into small pieces to obtain 1 cup.
- Combine strawberries with syrup and pour in a blender. Puree until very smooth.
- Pour on ice cream and serve with fresh strawberries if desired.
