Ingredients
– 2 cans (13.5 ounces each) full-fat coconut milk
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or to taste)
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Optional: 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
– Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or fruit for mix-ins
Instructions
Creating Easy Coconut Ice Cream is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Combine Coconut Milk: In a large mixing bowl, pour the full-fat coconut milk and make sure it is well mixed. You can whisk it slightly to blend if there are lumps.
2. Add Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar to the coconut milk. Stir with a whisk until fully dissolved. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
3. Mix in Vanilla and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the flavor.
4. Optional Additions: If you’re adding shredded coconut or any mix-ins, fold them in gently to avoid a chunky texture.
5. Pour into Container: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container or a loaf pan.
6. Cover and Freeze: Seal the container or cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer.
7. Stir Occasionally: After about 2 hours, stir the mixture vigorously with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Return it to the freezer and repeat this process every hour for the next 2-3 hours for a creamier texture.
8. Final Freeze: Allow the coconut ice cream to freeze until solid for about 4-6 hours or overnight if desired.
9. Scoop and Serve: When ready to serve, let the container sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making scooping easier.
