Ingredients

2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups coconut milk
1 cup coconut flakes, toasted
8 egg yolks
11/2 cups sugar
Pinch salt

Directions

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.

Good, but too sweet
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made the recipe, but found it too sweet for my taste. I added the toasted coconut flakes to the mix as it was churning. ... Next time, I'll probably use 1/2 cup less of sugar.Read more

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I halved the recipe to fit in my smaller ice cream maker and it came out fabulous. I did add some chunks of ginger to the... milk to steep, removing it later. I also threw in a handful of fresh toasted coconut after straining out the steeped stuff. I like the texture it added to the ice cream. Flavor is spot on. Clean, fresh, coconuty and super yummy. I could eat it all in one sitting!Read more

Everybody Loves It!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my Brazilian brother-in-law. He loved it so much that he served it to all his Brazilian friends who... requested it be made for all the parties. I didn't strain the ice cream though, so all the coconur flakes were in there. I liked the texture and the flakes helped you recognise what you were eating. Over all, so good!Read more

Great
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Very creamy with subtle coconut taste. I love coconut, so I wished the coconut flavor was a bit stronger, but overall a... great recipe. Next time I will try adding a bit of coconut extract to enhance the flavor.Read more
