I spread it back out and re-toasted until deep golden brown and crispy. It's crazy delicious, with or without the ice cream. Definitely do not toss that coconut!

The best ice cream I've ever made. We lapped up every drop, and now I'm lusting to make the recipe again. I really liked the smoothness of the finished product, which wouldn't have been the case had there been flakes of coconut. Awesome. The best ice cream I’ve ever made.

Pairing it with a deep chocolate cake for a dinner party. I did not, however, discard the coconut once it flavored the cream. I saved some to sprinkle on top as a garnish and took a spoon to the rest when no one was looking. This is exquisite. Pairing it with a deep chocolate cake for a dinner party.

Perhaps you could tell us a bit more and we can try and figure out what may have gone wrong? Beth Hi Katie,

For some reason though it turned out bad... I think I must have done something wrong, because the ice cream didn't taste like coconut. This is the second recipe i made with the ice cream maker.

Substituted lite coconut milk for the whole milk, and it was fantastic. No problem with the whipping or freezing -- consistency is fine. And so so yummy!

I think you may have to play around and try this more than once in order to maintain as nice a consistency as the currently balanced recipe, but I'd probably lean towards replacing the whole milk rather than the cream. You're more likely to get a nice boost in flavor without sacrificing any of the creamy richness you want in a finished ice cream. In any case, I certainly would hesitate to replace as much as half of the cream, or you risk ending up with a grainier ice cream once it's turned. Hope that helps, and have fun experimenting—that's always my favorite part of cooking!
