Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans full-fat coconut milk, chilled
  • 1/2 cup  granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Chill the Coconut Milk:
    Place the cans of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight to chill. Chilling helps separate the coconut cream from the liquid.
  • Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
    Open the chilled cans of coconut milk without shaking them. Scoop out the thick coconut cream that has risen to the top and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Save the remaining coconut liquid for other uses.
    Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the coconut cream. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  • Blend and Chill:
    If desired, blend the coconut cream mixture in a blender for a few seconds to ensure a smooth consistency.
    Transfer the blended mixture to a freezer-safe container. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap.
  • Freeze and Stir:
    Place the container in the freezer and let the coconut milk mixture freeze for about 1-2 hours until it starts to firm up around the edges.
    Remove the container from the freezer and stir the partially frozen mixture vigorously with a fork or whisk to break up any ice crystals and create a smooth texture.
    Repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, or until the ice cream is creamy and fully frozen.
  • Serve and Garnish:
    When the coconut milk ice cream reaches the desired consistency, scoop it into bowls or cones.
    Garnish with shredded coconut, toasted coconut flakes, or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
