I have gotten away from cooking the custard first so I left off the cornstarch and didn't cook it.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup half-and-half (or I used evaporated milk because I had it on hand)
1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup half-and-half (or I used evaporated milk because I had it on hand)
1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Place in the hot oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the coconut turns a light brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the eggs with a
hand held mixer (or wire whisk) until thickened and pale yellow. Beat in the
cornstarch and salt. Set aside.
Combine the half-and-half with the coconut milk in a heavy
medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat
and slowly beat the hot liquid into the eggs and sugar.
Then stir in the toasted coconut, heavy cream and vanilla. Cover
and refrigerate until cold (about 5 hours) or overnight.
Stir the chilled custard, then freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. (The
mixture should be about 1 quart) When finished, the ice cream will be soft but
ready to eat. For firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and
freeze for at least 3 hours. (We froze ours overnight and had perfect,
scoopable ice cream the next day.)
