Tender Coconut Ice-Cream

Tender coconut used to be one of my favorite flavors at Naturals. I didn't know it will be my reward at the end of weekend spring cleaning. I discovered a can of young coconut in syrup, condensed milk, coconut milk, evaporated milk and coconut extract. All of them were well within the expiration date. So decided to use them immediately rather than letting them hibernate in the back of the pantry till next spring!;-)
Tender Coconut Ice-Cream
Ingredients
1 can young coconut in syrup, drained, roughly chopped
1 can reduced fat coconut milk
1 can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 can fat-free evaporated milk
2-3 drops of coconut extract
Method
1. Mix evaporated milk, coconut milk, condensed milk and coconut extract.
2. Pour in the ice-cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturers instructions.
3. In the last stage, stir in chopped coconut pieces.
4. Freeze.
Note -
1. For richer taste, use full fat evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and coconut milk. I used fat free /reduced fat version.

It does taste good, if you love coconut flavor. chopped coconut bits add a natural flavor.
