Servings: Almost 1 quart Source:

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup coconut milk

1 1/2 cup coconut water (from a young coconut or pre-packaged)

100 g. chopped palm sugar

Scant 1/4 cup white granulated sugar

1/8 tsp salt

2 Tbsp vodka (optional, see note)

Optional Add-Ins

1/4 cup chopped young coconut meat

1/4 cup chopped jackfruit, canned

Optional Toppings

Roasted peanuts

Sweet sticky rice

Toasted mung beans (@ 10:06)

Evaporated milk

Coconut ice cream

Directions

Combine coconut milk, palm sugar, white sugar, and salt in a pot and cook over medium heat until all the sugar is dissolved. Stir in coconut water and vodka, if using. Let chill in the fridge completely and churn according to your ice cream machine’s instructions. Add the young coconut meat and jackfruit, or any other add-ins, during the last 1-2 minutes of churning.

Notes

The vodka helps prevents the ice cream from freezing too hard. It is optional and you’re welcome to use other techniques for creating scoopable ice cream. You can also just let the ice cream sit on the counter or in the fridge to soften before serving.
