(Helado de Coco)
Category: Ice Creams
Makes about 1 quart
My good friend and premier ice-cream-maker, Camille Tarantino, was always ready and willing to test ice creams following our trips to Mexico. We made this simple one for a cooking class and everyone really loved the rich coconut flavor.
1 1/2 cups milk or half and half
3/4 cup sugar
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
1. Combine the milk and sugar in a saucepan. Gently warm over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and whisk in the coconut milk until smooth.
2. Transfer to a clean container, cover, and refrigerate about 6 hours or overnight. Stir the mixture and transfer to ice cream machine. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
