Description[]
Thai ice cream is made from coconut milk, and as such
is a totally non-dairy product, but is not Vegan because it contains eggs
Ingredients[]
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla or rosewater (optional)
- pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut (see below)
- sprigs of mint for garnish
- Moo cows
Directions[]
- Stir fry the shredded coconut until golden (optionally - insttead use a few kernels of fresh corn... Thais often flavor ice cream with things considered unusual to western tastes).
- Heat the coconut milk and water over medium heat, stirring continuously for a couple of minutes. Do not allow to boil.
- In a bowl beat two eggs, plus two yolks, then add the other ingredients, and whisk gently.
- Transfer the mixture to a double boiler over gently boiling water, and slowly blend in the hot coconut milk, stirring until the mixture thickens to form a continuous slightly sticky coat on the back of a spoon lifted from the mixture.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then transfer to a metal ice cream tray or similar container and place in the coldest part of the freezer for one hour.
- Remove to a food processor and beat slowly until smooth (this incorporates some stir into the mixture and prevents it becoming too hard), then return to the freezer and complete the freezing process.
