I'm going to need to buy my own coconut grove.
Oh, and... I'm real sorry 'bout not getting a photo for you. But... well... it was melting fast and was really, really yummy.
The recipe:
3 cups coconut milk*
3 egg yolks
6 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 Tbsp. vanilla
6 Tbsp. raw honey (I used agave)
Mix (I used a blender), put in ice cream maker... follow your machine's directions.
* Put three cans of coconut milk in the fridge overnight, to separate. Some milks won't, if they have a lot of emulsifiers added. Then, scoop out the solid coconut cream, and save the liquidy stuff for another use (like making coconut rice).
Oh, and I felt the need to melt my coconut cream in a pan, over low heat, before blending up. The particular brand I was using had clumps... and I didn't think the ice cream maker could overcome them. So, I melted it all a bit first.
Homemade ice cream is always "best" right when it's made. It can get incredibly hard in the freezer. So, if you actually have leftovers, you need to invite more kids over. Ok, ok, whatever... you have leftovers... stick them in the fridge for about 20 minutes prior to scooping, or on the counter for 10 minutes.
If you've ever bothered to read it, you'll see that even a carton of Haagen Dazs has similar instructions on it.

Oooh! Thaaat sound sooooo good. I don't cook much with anything coconut as DH is allergic. Howevah, I may just make this one... just for me. :)
You don't HAVE to use coconut milk! If no one in your house is allergic to dairy, skim some cream off your milk and use that. In order to have it creamy enough, you'd want very little milk and lots of cream. Maybe add an additional yolk or two, as well.
I am now, officially, completely committed to buying an ice cream maker. Didn't need one, before. I must have this. I must make ice cream. I am inspired. Thanks.
