"Coconut Ice" Cream

“There were shelves upon shelves of the most succulent-looking sweets imaginable. Creamy chunks of nougat, shimmering pink squares of coconut ice..."
-Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Aka this coconut ice cream recipe inspiration.

One of the many sweets that is mentioned in the Harry Potter series is pink coconut ice. When I sat back and thought about it I was wondering how / what I would make with this. "Ice, what to do with ice". Scrolling through instagram, the rage right now (due to summer) is the no-churn ice cream fad. So, it came to me. I'll drop the pink, make it a bit more refined and make a no-churn coconut ice cream recipe for my coconut ice.

What do you need for this coconut ice cream recipe?

Not much! Which is partially why this is SO great!

1. 1 can of condensed milk
2. 2 cups of heavy cream (very cold)
3. 1 teaspoon vanilla (paste if you want speckles or extract is fine)
4. 8 oz of cream cheese (room temperature - 8 oz is 1 block)
5. 2.5 cups of sweetened coconut

It is that simple. So few ingredients.

How do you make it?

Again, so simple that it is not wonder everyone is making no churn ice cream. Honestly, people should never make other desserts ever again this is so easy.

1. Take your condensed milk and the cream cheese and toss them into your mixer. You are going to want to use your whisk.
2. Mix until it is super smooth.
3. Add the vanilla.
4. If you need to, scoop down the sides and make sure everything is incorporated.
5. Add the cold cream and beat on high for 2-3 minutes. You want to get a lot of air into the mixture and make it look as if it is whipped cream.
6. Once it is a beautiful light and fluffy texture, fold in the coconut.
7. Put it into your container that you plan to freeze the ice cream in and pour it in.
8. Cover with shredded coconut.
9. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until it hardens.

Why should you make THIS coconut ice cream recipe?

Well as you see above, it is so simple in terms of ingredients but SO yummy in its flavor. It is so easy to make. I can say that I have never owned an ice cream machine. I see on the shows on the food network when they have those competitions and people make their own ice cream and they put it into the machine and hope that it gets cold enough that it will be ready when the time is up. You do not need one of those machines to make ice cream is what I have learned. It will take a while to firm up and freeze (depending on your freezer and the humidity of the day) but it is so easy. So, while this is not pink or coconut ice it does still have ice in the title as it is a coconut ice cream recipe. A recipe I hope you make.
