Coconut Ice Cream

 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pint (840ml) milk

  • 8 oz (225g) desiccated coconut

  • 6 egg yolks

  • 6 oz (170g) caster sugar

Preparation Method

Bring the milk to boil in a saucepan and stir in the desiccated coconut.  Set the mixture aside to infuse for at least 1 hour, then strain it through a fine sieve, pressing the coconut to extract most of the flavor.

Combine the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl.  Whisk until the mixture is very pale and leaves a trail when the beaters are lifted.  Gradually whisk in the coconut flavored milk.

Return the mixture to the pan and cook it over a very low heat, or cook it in the top of a double boiler, stirring constantly until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Remove the custard from the heat to cool, stirring it from time to time to prevent a skin forming.

Freeze in sorbetière following the manufacturer's instructions.  Or still-freeze, vigorously whisking the partially frozen ice at least once during the freezing process.
