Eggless Coconut Ice Cream

Nana Lee's Note:

Creamy ice cream with a rich coconut flavor. A sweet treat that any coconut lover would enjoy. Again you could adjust this to the size of your ice cream maker. Also, the "cooking" time depends on your ice cream maker. You could use this recipe as a basic and add other flavors such as pureed fruits

I have made this several times, I LOVE coconut ice cream. I don't have an ice cream freezer so I made this just by putting it in the freezer (freeze it for at least 24 hrs.) and it comes out really good. from Mama Donna

Very good! This recipe is so tasty and simple. A little on the sweet side-the next time I will try replacing some of the cream of coconut with milk or heavy cream. I used about 1/2 c coconut flakes. I added some vanilla flavoring. I added some toasted almonds at the end-before removing it from the machine. My husband and I loved it. This is a keeper.

One word, DELICIOUS! I slightly modified the recipe by halving the amount of shredded coconut (3/4c) and by combining all the ingredients in a blender and pulsed for about 15 seconds. I refridgerated the mixture for a half hour and added it to my pre-chilled KitchenAid Mixer Ice Cream Attachment. The recipe yielded about 2 quarts.
