Method

  • step 1

    Whisk the coconut milk until smooth. Measure 600ml into a saucepan and heat until just steaming. Meanwhile whisk the egg yolks with 3 tbsp sugar and the vanilla. Slowly pour the hot milk onto the yolks, whisking constantly. Wipe the pan clean, pour in the coconut and egg mixture, then cook over a medium heat, stirring for 5-6 mins until you have a thin custard. Strain and leave to cool completely, then churn in an ice cream maker.

  • step 2

    To make the caramel, put the remaining coconut milk and sugar in a saucepan with a pinch of salt. Boil for 3 mins until it has the consistency of double cream. Cool, then swirl the caramel and pecans through the ice cream mix, cover the surface with cling film and freeze.

Couldn't make the caramel, stayed white and thin after 10 mins of boiling

I wont be making this again. The taste is pretty subtle. It lacks creaminess ( obviously as theres no cream in it!) Also I'd agree with the other comment that its super hard and icy due to the water content of the coconut milk. I took it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge HOURS before it…

question

I made this last night put it in the freezer. It's so hard I cant get it out. It's like a block of ice. Is it ment to be so hard?

Hi, did you use a churner to make the ice cream?

question

Can this be made not in a churner?

Thanks for your question. We haven't tested this recipe without churning but it it is possible. We'd recommend getting it out a few times and beating it during freezing to ensure the best consistency.
