Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and coconut cream. Whisk together until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into the milk mixture to prevent any lumps. Stir thoroughly until the cocoa is completely blended and the mixture turns a rich, dark chocolate color.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Fold in the shredded coconut, stirring gently to distribute the coconut evenly throughout the ice cream base.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container with an airtight lid. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly.
- Cover the container tightly and place in the freezer for 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight, until the ice cream is firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Serve in chilled bowls and optionally garnish with additional shredded coconut or chocolate shavings.
Tips
- Use full-fat coconut cream for the richest, most luxurious texture possible.
- Sift the cocoa powder to prevent any unwanted lumps in your ice cream.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider toasting the shredded coconut before adding it to the mixture.
- Ensure your freezer is set to the coldest setting for optimal freezing.
- Use a deep, rectangular container for more even freezing and easier scooping.
- If you want a harder set, freeze for up to 12 hours; for a softer texture, aim for 6-8 hours.
- Always let the ice cream sit for a few minutes at room temperature before serving to make scooping easier.
- For a gourmet touch, drizzle with melted dark chocolate or sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes before serving.
