Coconut Ice Cream
"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
(especially me for coconut ice cream!)
I love using coconut cream powder as opposed to canned coconut milk. The ingredients are: natural coconut. It's not full of preservatives like the canned milk, and I think it has a fresher taste. I like how easily you can make milk or cream- depending on the powder to water ratio. You could of course, use canned coconut milk in this recipe if you want to, and of course fresh would be great!
Note: Cooking time does not include freezing time since that might vary."

- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
1 pint
ingredients
- 120 g coconut cream powder
- 500 ml warm water
- 220 g sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
directions
- Mix the coconut cream powder and the warm water together. Spoon a bit of the liquid into the cornstarch to liquefy, and then add back into the coconut milk mix. Add sugar and salt and bring to a boil. If lumps form for any reason, strain them out. Cool mixture and use in your ice cream maker.
- Delicious!
- You can also do the poor man's freeze ice cream where you freeze, scrape, freeze, scrape like granita but the texture is not going to be as nice as the ice cream machine.
- If your ice cream maker only makes a quart at at a time then just double the recipe.

I found this ice cream too rich on my first attempt. I made it again but reduced the coconut cream powder by a 1/3 and also found a low fat version. It has a most luscious sheen which I don't think my photo shows. I served a small portion with a banana bread and butter pudding the other night - a very good combination.

<p>One of my biggest passions is for cooking. As a Personal Chef, I feel very fortunate that I get to work doing something that I love. I enjoy helping people gain more satisfaction from what they eat by working within their dietary requirements and restrictions to come up with meals that they enjoy from both taste and health aspects. <br /> <br />I love learning about food! Cookbooks are some of my favorite reads. So much of society and culture is involved with what people eat, and learning about their food is learning about them, as a culture now, as a history of a people, all the way to the individual. I find that really thrilling. <br /> <br />I'm originally from NY and I grew up in town that has a very large Italian and Asian population, so getting great ingredients for Italian and Asian food was no problem. I grew up with miso soup, my mother's garden grown tomatoes sprinkled with fresh basil, fresh mozzerella, some salt, pepper, olive oil and maybe some balsamico. My family is of mixed descent, so that we ate everything from spaetzle to chapatis! I've lived in the Southwest, where I had access to a wonderful array of Mexican ingredients and teachers, and I enjoyed delving into that cuisine. I've lived in the Deep South and had Cajun Grandmothers teach me their Gumbo, red beans and dirty rice. I'm so grateful for the wonderful diversity of this country, that we have people from all over willing to share their food and friendship. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/Switzerland-FFF4.gif alt= /></p>
