Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Coconut Base

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Thicken the Mixture

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the saucepan while whisking continuously. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

  3. 3

    Add Flavoring

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract and shredded coconut. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Once cooled, cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.

  5. 5

    Churn the Gelato

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

  6. 6

    Freeze

    Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Scoop the coconut gelato into bowls or cones and enjoy!
