Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups coconut cream base
- 1 tsp Coconut extract
- ⅓ cup Salted roasted chopped almonds
- 2 oz Baker's semi-sweet chocolate (melted)
- 2 tsp water
Coconut Filling:
- 1 ¼ cup sweetened coconut
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
Coconut Filling:
- In a bowl combine sweetened coconut, condensed milk and vanilla, stir together until the coconut looks all wet.
- Store in an airtight container. No need to refrigerate.
Ice Cream:
- Chop the 2 oz Baker’s chocolate and melt it on the stove with 2 tsp of water. Stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl combine melted chocolate and coconut extract, stir until combined.
- Add a little of the coconut base to the chocolate and coconut at a time and whisk so the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout.
- Pour into the ice cream maker and churn. Churn until the mix starts to look solid and firm. It’s ready when a spoon is pressed across the top and it should leave an impression without collapsing for just a second.
- During the last minute of churning add half of the coconut filling so the coconut can disperse through the ice cream.
- Turn off the machine and remove the dasher.
- Layer ice cream and chopped almonds in the ice cream container.
- Cover and freeze for 8 hours or overnight.
