Ice Cream Help Needed ASAP

[mickeydownunder]

DOH! I made a Coconut Milk, Lemongrass and Hibiscus tea ice cream today

all the ingredients are correct

it was only after the ice cream has been in the freezer for about 3 hours still liquidy....I realised the recipe was / is for an ice cream maker which I dont have

If this stays in an air tight container overnight, will it get a bit harder?

Can anyone help? DOH!

Thanks

WHOO HOO!

You probably have a solid chunk of great tasting ice now ~ break it up and run it through your food processor for a granita-like texture!

If you just leave it in the freezer, it will freeze solid. Without the ice cream maker to churn in air, it will not be scoopable. Instead, follow the directions above, or else pour it in a shallow pan, then stir and scrape with a fork every 20-30 minutes until it forms a slushy consistency. You'll have a granita instead of an ice cream, but at least it won't be a total loss.

Or pour it into ice cube trays and use the cubes to chill and thicken fruit in smoothies.
