I started out the day intending to make banana ice cream. I had a cluster of those cute little manzano bananas that were way ripe, all black on the outside and perfect for cooking with, or so I thought. I started peeling them to mash them up and sadly they were just not fit. Well I wasn't going to let that little bump in the road stand between me and some homemade ice cream goodness. I ended up settling on the can of Mae Ploy coconut milk in the pantry as the basis of my recipe. The ingreidient that would dictate all others. This is what I came up with and I have to say, it's dreamy. Much more of what a coconut ice cream should be to me, then the stuff we used to make at the restaurant. All though that was nice too, in it's own right. Hope you enjoy.
1 can Mae Ploy coconut milk. most other brands suck.
1 pint heavy cream
1 pint half and half
1 quart of whole milk
1 1/2 cups granulated fructose
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Combine all ingredients, It's best to blend or sieve the coconut milk, as it coagulates, and the lumps will not be broken up by the ice cream paddle. Freeze in ice cream mixer. Ripen in freezer for at least 2 hours. Enjoy. NUMMY.
