Categories : C -- American - SE C -- Asian

Ice Cream, sorbet

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups coconut milk

8 ounces half and half

1 ounce half and half

1 pinch salt

3/4 cup sugar

4 each egg yolks

1 1/2 tablespoons tapioca starch

3/4 cup shredded coconut meat

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves -- minced

In a heavy sauce pan, bring the coconut milk and the 1st measure of half and half to a boil

In a mixing bowl, whish the egg yolks and sugar together until thick and very pale yellow

Temper the hot milk mixture into the eggs.

Eggs need to be tempered so that they don't become scrambled when mixing with a hot liquid {usually a hot dairy product, but may be stock or a sauce}. Begin to temper by whisking in about 1/3 of the hot liquid into the eggs. Carefully and slowly, whisk in the remaining hot liquid.

Return the mixture to the pan over low heat and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened. DO NOT LET BOIL. This is the custard base

In another mixing bowl, combine the starch with the 2nd measure of half and half until smooth, then whisk into the custard base with the coconut

Cool as quickly as possible and chill over-night or in an Ice bath until very well chilled

Process in the ice cream machine per directions. Add the minced mint leaves after 10 minutes of processing. Transfer to a storage container and freeze or serve directly.
