Coconut Ice Cream With Rum Recipes

COCONUT RUM CREAM

Steps:

• Heat cream and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula until chocolate is melted; remove from heat and cool.
• Blend cooled chocolate mixture, sweetened condensed milk, rum, coffee granules, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and coconut extract together in a blender on high speed until smooth.

NO-CHURN COCONUT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, coconut oil, rum and salt. In a separate bowl, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Whisk half the cream into milk mixture. Fold in remaining cream. Transfer to a 4 1/2-by 8 1/2-inch loaf pan. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours, and up to 1 week.

COQUITO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Prepare your ice cream machine, freezing the insert bowl if needed.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream of coconut, coconut milk, heavy cream, rum extract, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream of coconut melts down and all the ingredients are incorporated, making sure it does not come to a boil, about 5 minutes.
• As the coconut mixture cooks, place the egg yolks in a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of the coconut mixture to the yolks and whisk quickly and vigorously. (This will temper, or bring up the temperature, of the eggs, so they don't set.) Pour the yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining coconut mixture, and immediately start whisking over medium heat. Continue whisking until it thickens and tastes intense, about 2 minutes. If you dip a spoon in the custard, it should coat the back. Run your finger through that coating; the stripe should hold for 3 seconds. Stir in more rum extract if you'd like.
• Set a fine-mesh strainer over a food storage container or a bowl with a lid that can hold at least 1 quart. Strain the ice cream base into the container, to catch any pieces of egg that may have solidified, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Set up your ice cream maker, add the ice cream base to its bowl and churn according to manufacturers' instructions. It should increase in volume and look thick and creamy, the consistency of soft ice cream. Serve the ice cream right out of the machine, or for a better, more traditional texture (think store-bought ice cream), transfer the churned ice cream to a food storage container and freeze for 4 to 5 more hours.
