Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coconut Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut cream, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm and sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Thicken the Mixture

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the warm coconut mixture while whisking continuously. Continue to heat until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Coconut Flakes

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded coconut until well incorporated.

  4. 4

    Cool the Mixture

    Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.

  5. 5

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  6. 6

    Freeze the Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Scoop the toasted coconut ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
