Ingredients

  • 1 (14-ounce can) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 cup toasted coconut

Instructions

  • Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, blend the cream, milks, and coconut extract thoroughly. This mixture forms the creamy base of your ice cream.
  • Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the blended mixture into the freezer bowl of your 1 ½-quart electric ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing. This step is crucial for achieving that smooth, creamy texture.
    Mine takes between 25-30 minutes until it gets creamy and thick
  • Add Toasted Coconut: Once the ice cream begins to set, gently fold in the toasted coconut and stir about 10 seconds. This adds a delightful crunch and intensifies the coconut flavor.
  • Freeze to Perfection: Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Freeze it until it reaches a firm, scoopable consistency, about 4 to 6 hours. This final freezing step is essential for that classic ice cream texture.

Notes

  • Consistent Toasting: Keep an eye on the coconut while toasting to ensure even browning.
  • Chill Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients are cold before mixing to help the ice cream set faster.
  • Don't Overfill: Only fill the ice cream maker to its recommended capacity to avoid overflow.
