A fantastic coconut ice cream quickly prepared in the ice cream maker, with few ingredients for a vegan ice cream based on coconut milk and syrup quickly prepared with water and sugar.

To test the machine, I started with this ice cream, I had some coconut milk at home and thought, yes, a nice coconut ice cream will be perfect with this August heat. The result was really phenomenal, I didn’t expect such a good and creamy ice cream in such a short time. So I immediately thought of sharing the recipe with you. If we don’t consume it right away, it can be frozen in an ice cream tub, then just leave it out of the freezer for a few minutes before serving, good and creamy as if just made.

Coconut Ice Cream Preparation Steps
In a saucepan, place the sugar with the water, and bring to a boil, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Transfer the syrup to the ice cream maker’s container, let it cool, even in the fridge to speed up, or in the freezer.
Add to the cooled or just warm syrup the coconut milk, an entire can of 400g.
I added grated coconut, or desiccated coconut, to give more coconut flavor and texture to the ice cream, but this is optional.
Transfer the basket into the ice cream maker and start it. I used the Medion self-refrigerating ice cream maker. Just start it and it will do everything by itself.
In about 30-40 minutes the coconut milk ice cream is ready, it will have reached -0 to -4 degrees Fahrenheit, perfect for immediate consumption. Great with some chopped chocolate, or if you prefer with Nutella.
If you want to store it, get some ice cream tubs and immediately put it in the freezer in the appropriate tubs. It keeps well for a few weeks.
