Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream Tips
Adding more or less sugar to the recipe can change the texture of the finished ice cream. Less sugar will result in a harder, denser ice cream that is more difficult to scoop. Adding more sugar can result in an ice cream that does not freeze.
You can use all coconut milk or all coconut cream instead of using both in the recipe to suit your tastes.
If your ice cream is hard to scoop, let the ice cream sit out on the counter 5-10 minutes prior to serving.
Freezing the mixture for 30 minutes just before putting the mixture into your ice cream machine can help your machine create the ice cream faster. Before putting the custard into your ice cream machine, mix it up to make sure you don’t have any frozen lumps.
