Calories 760kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 13 1/2 ounces full fat coconut milk (can unsweetened)
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener (confectioners)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (can unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut (can unsweetened)
- 1 lime (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 13 1/2 ounces full fat coconut milk (can unsweetened)
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener (confectioners)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (can unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut (can unsweetened)
- 1 lime (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preparation Add the bowl and paddle of your ice cream maker to the freezer and allow to freeze over night.
- Add the heavy cream and coconut milk to a saucepan over medium heat and heat to a gentle simmer.
- Whisk the egg yolks and swerve together, then set aside.
- Temper the eggs with the cream- add a ladle full of the cream to the egg mixture, whisking the whole time.
- Add another ladle full of cream, then add the mixture into the saucepan with the cream and cook on medium-low for about 8-10 minutes (stirring constantly), or until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon and stays separated.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the salt and vanilla and coconut extracts and allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic is touching the custard, so it doesn't form a skin.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or over night.
- Its important to make sure the custard is very cold before adding to the ice cream maker, so the longer it chills, the better.
- Remove the chilled custard from the fridge, stir in the lime zest and pour into your ice cream maker.
- Churn for 25-30 minutes, according to the instructions on your ice cream maker (mine took 25 minutes).
- Once its the consistency of soft-serve, its ready! Store in the freezer.
