"Coconut Ice" Ice-Cream
An original recipe by Not Quite Nigella
-
2/3 cup shredded coconut
-
1 cup caster sugar
-
1 cup lite coconut milk (not full fat)
-
1/2 teaspoon coconut essence
-
1 cup condensed milk
-
1 1/3 cups thickened cream
-
A few drops of pink or red food colouring
Step 1 - Place all ingredients but the milk and cream in a blender and blend until smooth.
Step 2 - Then blend in milk and cream quickly for 5 seconds just until combined. Either refrigerate until ready for use or use straight away.
Step 3 - Place in ice cream maker (I used my Cuisinart one) and churn for 25 minutes until a soft serve consistency is reached. Then remove ice cream and place in two separate bowls. With a spatula drop in a few drops of pink or red food colouring and stir to combine. Leave the other bowl as white.
Step 4 - Place in freezer in two long rectangular freezer proof containers or you could layer it half pink and half white and cut into cubes once frozen hard.
