• Note: This recipe could either be made up as ice cream or a gelato. If you use whole milk, you will get ice cream. If you exchange the heavy cream for whole milk (so the entire recipe uses 2 1/2 cups of milk), you have gelato. If you use a low-fat milk with the heavy cream, you get something in between.

Steps:

Steps:

• Combine the milk and cream of coconut in the container of a food processor or blender, and mix thoroughly. Stir in cream and flaked coconut.
• Pour into the container of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Bring milk, heavy cream, coconut milk, and coconut flakes to simmer in heavy saucepan for a few minutes. Allow to steep for 10 minutes.
• Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt together, long enough to dissolve the sugar.
• Temper hot liquid into egg mixture. Return all back into saucepan over low heat, stirring all the while, until mixture starts to thicken. Strain through a chinois. Chill immediately over ice bath.
• Churn in a standard ice cream machine.

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Place the bowl over a pan with about 1cm of simmering water. Do not let the bowl touch the water. Whisk continuously for ten minutes, until the eggs have cooked through and you're left with a thick, custard-like mixture.
• Allow to cool (I place the bowl into a sink of cold water to speed this up), then place in the fridge.
• Meanwhile, whisk the double cream in a large bowl until it forms still peaks. Gently fold through the coconut milk, vanilla extract, coconut flakes and the cooled egg mixture.
• Pour into sealable plastic containers and freeze for 8 hours.
• Bring out of the freezer at least 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, toast sweetened coconut until deeply golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate; reserve.
• In the same saucepan, toast 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut until deeply golden, about 5 minutes. Add coconut milk, heavy cream, whole milk, sugar and salt, simmering until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
• Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Remove from heat and let custard steep for 1 hour.
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down hard on the solids. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Add reserved toasted coconut during the last 2 minutes of churning. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.

Steps:

• Whisk eggs for about 30 seconds and set aside.
• Mix 2 cans of coconut milk and coconut cream together; add sugar and whisk. Mix in vanilla; mix in eggs.
• Pour mixture into a 4-quart ice cream maker, add enough remaining coconut milk until you reach the max line, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Steps:

• Combine the coconut cream, cream and milk in a small saucepan. Split vanilla pod in half lengthways; scrape seeds into the pan then place pod in pan. Bring the cream mixture to a boil; strain into a large jug (heatproof), discard the vanilla pod.
• Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until just combined; gradually whisk in the hot cream mixture. Strain into a large jug.
• Return mixture to same pan; stir over a low heat, without boiling, until it is thickened slightly; stir in the coconut. Pour into a baking tin, cover and freeze until almost set.
• Chop the ice-cream roughly, beat in a large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Pour into loaf tin, cover and then freeze until firm.

Steps:

• Combine milk and cream in a medium saucepan. Add coconut and salt. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and let stand until cool, about 2 hours. Prepare an ice water bath.
• Return milk mixture to stove. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar and bring to a simmer. In a medium bowl whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Gradually whisk half the milk mixture into egg yolk mixture. Pour back into pan, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 6 minutes. Set a clean bowl in prepared ice water bath. Pour custard through a fine sieve into the bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Let chill, stirring occasionally. Mixture can be made ahead up to this point and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions, churning until the ice cream is soft but holds its shape when machine is turned off. Transfer to a loaf pan. Sprinkle with sweetened coconut. Eat soft from the machine, or freeze for up to 2 weeks. Soften at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Spread coconut out on a baking sheet lined with foil.
• Place in a 400° oven for 5-7 minutes or until coconut turns a light brown; take out of the oven and allow to cool.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the eggs until thickened and a pale yellow color.
• Beat in the cornstarch and salt; set aside.
• In a saucepan, mix together the half-anf-half and coconut milk.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Remove pan from heat and slowly beat the hot liquid into the eggs/sugar mixture.
• Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and set on low heat.
• Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the custard gets slightly thickened (don't let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble).
• Remove from heat and pour the hot custard mixture through a strainer into a large clean mixing bowl.
• Let the custard cool slightly, then stir in the toasted coconut, cream, and vanilla.
• Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.
• Stir the chilled custard; freeze in 1 or 2 batches in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• May eat right away or transfer to a freezer container and freeze 2 hours.

Steps:

• Into a metal bowl that has been chilled in the freezer, pour coconut milk, honey and vanilla.
• Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment, whisk until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Make sure your ice cream maker's freezer bowl is frozen solid (you don't want to hear even the slightest sloshing noise when shaken). Keep in the freezer until absolutely ready to pour mixture into the machine.
• Place mixture into the freezer tub of your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing. It took only 15 minutes for my machine to churn and freeze this concoction into a beautiful, smooth ice cream.
• With a spatula, turn ice cream into a freezer storage container. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until desired texture.
