MANTECADO DE COCO (COCONUT ICE CREAM)

Steps:

• Beat the sugar and yolks.
• Add hot milk and salt.
• Cook this over low heat until it thickens a bit.
• Add cold milk and coconut milk.
• Freeze in ice cream freezer or, as they do in Puerto Rico, freeze in a bowl or ice cube trays.

COCONUT ICE CREAM/GELATO

Steps:

• Combine everything except the flaked coconut.
• Put in ice cream maker and prepare according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Add flakes 5 minutes before ice cream is ready, if desired.
• Note: This recipe could either be made up as ice cream or a gelato. If you use whole milk, you will get ice cream. If you exchange the heavy cream for whole milk (so the entire recipe uses 2 1/2 cups of milk), you have gelato. If you use a low-fat milk with the heavy cream, you get something in between.

MANGO COCONUT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Stir together mango purée, coconut milk, cream, corn syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla in a bowl until combined well.
• Bring milk just to a boil in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan. Whisk together yolks, sugar, and a large pinch of salt in a bowl, then add hot milk in a stream, whisking. Pour custard into saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it registers 170 to 175°F on thermometer, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in mango mixture until combined well.
• Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl (to remove any strings from mango), discarding solids, and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Chill custard, covered, until very cold, about 4 hours.
• Freeze custard in ice cream maker. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 12 hours.
