Recipe for Toasted Coconut Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- A big pinch of salt
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Cooking Directions
On a baking sheet, evenly spread shredded coconut and bake in a 350 degree oven for 5-8 minutes until it is golden brown. Stir the coconut frequently to allow for even toasting.
Heat the milk, one cup of heavy cream, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan until it is just steaming.
Add the coconut to the milk mixture, cover and remove from heat. Let steep for one hour (I didn''t a little longer).
Reheat the milk mixture and then strain through a mesh strainer making sure to squeeze our all the liquid from the coconut solids.
Throw out the coconut. Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl and slowly pour the warmed milk mixture in while continuing to whisk.
Pour the contents back into the pan. Stir over medium heat with a spatula until the mixture thickens (coats a back of a spoon).
Strain the custard through a mesh strainer and stir in the remaining cup of cream and the vanilla. Chill overnight.
