Ingredients
– 2cans full-fat coconut milk(14oz each)
– 3/4cup sugar
– 1tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch salt
– 1cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
1. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Remove from heat and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 2hours.
3. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25minutes until thickened.
4. If using, add the shredded coconut during the last 5minutes of churning.
5. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4hours to firm up.
6. Remove from the freezer 10minutes before serving to soften slightly.
Notes
– For an extra tropical twist, mix in diced pineapple or mango during the last few minutes of churning.
– Using an ice cream maker yields the best texture, but a no-churn method can work if you stir the mixture every 30minutes while freezing.
– Enjoy this refreshing treat on its own or topped with toasted coconut flakes.
