Ingredients
- 400 grams (1 ½ cups) coconut cream scooped from the top of canned full-fat coconut milk
- 120 grams (⅓ cup) honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract*
- Zest of two lemons
- 3 egg yolks
- Juice of a lemon ~3 tablespoons
Instructions
- Combine the coconut cream, honey, vanilla, and lemon zest in a saucepan over low-medium heat and cook for about five minutes, or until the honey is entirely incorporated into the cream.400 grams (1 ½ cups) coconut cream, 120 grams (⅓ cup) honey, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract*, Zest of two lemons
- Whisk the egg yolks in a medium sized bowl. Add a quarter cup of the heated cream mixture to the egg yolks and whisk thoroughly. Add the remaining cream mixture and whisk again to combine.3 egg yolks
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, for about ten minutes, or until it coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let the custard cool slightly before covering and refrigerating until chilled through, at least four hours.Juice of a lemon
- Once the custard has chilled, add it to your ice cream maker** and churn according to the machine instructions.
- Once the ice cream has churned, serve immediately or freeze in an airtight container. Thaw at room temperature for about ten minutes before serving if frozen through. Freeze for up to a month.
Notes
* To use a vanilla bean, first split it down the centre lengthwise. Add it to the cream mixture when heating the first time. Remove and set aside before whisking with the egg, than add it back in for the thickening step of cooking. Remove before churning.
** See notes in the body of the post for how to make this without a machine.
