Coconut and Date Ice Cream (Handmade and Eggless)

Submitted by Girl from India

"This is how I make ice cream by hand. Do not have an ice cream maker. Try to use an alumninium tiffin or container as I find that they give the best results when the ice cream is made manually (freeze faster and better). You need to plan for this dish ahead as it takes 24 hours or more depending on when you find the time to beat it. I guess you can make it in an ice cream maker too, but I have no clue on time estimates then. :)"
