Tender coconut ice cream has a creamy rich taste to it that you will find irresistible. If you are a fan of tender coconut this is a completely doable frozen treat recipe that is worth a try. Tender coconut juice is a perfect summer drink, fresh and natural. You can scoop out the tender meat and enjoy it just by itself or add to desserts.
This summer we visited Kerala and my kid got addicted to the naturally sweet taste of tender coconut. I let him enjoy natures bounty as much as he wanted. I made this ice cream as a fun treat for my kid when we returned. It is not easy to get fresh ones here but look for tender coconut in Asian markets or Whole Foods. This is egg-less ice cream, full of flavor, smooth and creamy and each scoop of this delightful ice cream will transport you back to a tropical paradise. I made this with an ice cream maker, but you can also make this a no-churn ice cream recipe. Just whip the cream first and gently fold in the rest of the ingredients and freeze. Try this recipe, you will surely love it.
Ingredients
Heavy Cream- 2 cups
Pureed Tender coconut meat/ flesh- 1 cup
Condensed milk- 1 can ( 14 oz)
Tender coconut water- 1/2 cup
Coconut cream- 2tbs
Coconut extract- 1/2 tsp

Scoop out the tender coconut meat with a spoon and put it into a blender. Add 1/2 cup of tender coconut water and make it into a fine puree. Add more coconut water if it thickens.You will not need to strain this mixture. It will be creamy and smooth. Allow it to chill in the refrigerator.
Set the bowl of the ice cream maker to chill in the freezer as per package instruction( best if it is left to chill over night).
When you are ready to make the ice cream combine condensed milk, coconut cream, coconut extract, whipped cream and tender coconut puree and pour into the ice cream maker.
Churn the mixture till set or till you attain the desired consistency and thickness.Mine took about 25 minutes.
At this stage it will be soft ice cream and you can serve immediately or remove and transfer to freezer until it is firm( for two hours). Enjoy!
