Making ice cream at home is full of excitement. I think I have used some similar phrase in my previous ice cream blog too. Truly it is, making a ice cream at home is a joyous experience. I have kids, and I can’t express in words, the joy, the happiness around them when we make ice cream at home.
Please, don’t think they are kind of ice cream deprived kids… neither are they ice cream crazy kids. They like it, pretty much like children, whenever offered they happily indulge. When unwell, they refuse to eat. I ban ice cream when exams are approaching. … So pretty much regular stuff.
But when we make ice cream at home, it totally different. It’s a fun time, the spatula, and the whisk are licked… (Confessions- I also have a active participation in that job)…
The ice cream is checked almost every hour, if it’s frozen or not. My kids even have to wait further, because, I need to take the pictures for the blog. This time we froze the ice cream in two containers. One was to be photographed and other was for immediate eating.
That is the ice cream story at home. Now let’s get to our flavour and the method of making this incredibly yum Tender coconut ice cream at home.
This ice cream is easy to make and will not require any churning machine. It’s super quick to prepare too. The only time required is the time to freeze it, almost 8-9 hours, preferably overnight.
You will require coconut meat (malai) of almost 4 green coconuts for this recipe. So when you buy coconuts, ask for malai coconut.
In the ingredients below, there is heavy whipping cream on the list. I have used this brand called Tropolite, which is a non-dairy cream. It is available at Aarif if you are in Mumbai. If you are not … you will have to look for a heavy cream. Some heavy creams do need sugar for whipping. So you add sugar accordingly.
Amul will not work, and If you have some local dairy near you, look there. You should be looking for something that can be whipped up, till stiff peaks.
You will need an electric hand-held beater with the whisk attachment to whip up the cream fully Bajaj HM 01 250-Watt Hand Mixer (Black)
As you are aware of my work with Ossoro flavours. I have been preparing many recipes using their amazing flavour range. Ossoro has this creamy coconut flavour, which added a lot of depth to my ice cream. With just a few drops, the coconut flavour became more prominent in the ice cream. I am a big fan of coconut anyways. So simply loved this one. Ossoro Creamy Coconut, 30 ml
You can check out their range of flavours in their site and Ossoro is also available online on Amazon too.
