1 cup unsweetened
dried grated coconut
1 13 ounce can
reduced fat orgnaic evaporated milk
1 13 ounce can
reduced fat unsweetened coconut milk *
1 can or plastic
squeeze bottle of coconut cream**
Agave syrup or sugar
to taste
6 egg yolks
2 T. dark rum,
optional
Toast the coconut for
about ten minutes or until golden in a pan on the stove or in the oven. Set aside.
Heat the evaporated
milk, coconut milk, coconut cream, and agave syrup or sugar in a medium
saucepan on the stove until it simmers. (You won’t need much sugar because the
coconut cream is very high in sugar.) Do not boil. While this mixture is
heating, mix up the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Take 2 cups of the simmering
mixture out of the saucepan and add it into the egg yolks, whisking quickly.
Now, incorporate the egg yolk-milk mixture back
into the simmering milks in the saucepan and bring to a simmer once again or
until the back of a metal spoon is coated by the thickened custard. Remove from
stove and mix in the rum, if using.
Chill mixture in
your refrigerator for at least an hour or two. Pour into ice cream freezer and
freeze. Half way through the freezing, add in the toasted coconut.
Makes: Approximately
one quart of ice cream.
