Coconut Ice Cream

Woo i've wanted to try making ice cream for a while but I always thought I would need an ice cream maker to get the nice creamy consistency; however this is not the case hehe and it actually turned out fine just taking it out of the freezer at regular intervals to whisk to stop ice crystals forming. I've been getting loads of different flavourings recently so it was difficult to try and decide what flavour ice cream to do..hmm decisions decisions..I eventually decided upon coconut as my mam lovvveees coconut ice cream! Just before the ice cream was nearly frozen I whisked in some coconut flakes to make it even more coconutty mmmm! This is really easy to make and barely takes up any time, other than the waiting time for freezing of course hehe. I would definately recommend it hehe!

Coconut Ice Cream
625ml whipping cream (heavy cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons coconut extract
115g white sugar
50g coconut flakes

Beat both extracts, sugar and cream in a large bowl lightly until the sugar has dissolved and can no longer be seen within the cream.

Pour into a freezer friendly container and freeze till firm around the edges. Remove from the freezer, beat till smooth and return to the freezer. Do this 3-4 times and then set completely.

YUM!
