Indulge in the luscious, tropical flavors of this Coconut Cream Frozen Dessert, a rich and creamy dairy-free treat thatβs perfect for any occasion. Made with full-fat coconut milk, coconut cream, and a touch of vanilla, this frozen delight is naturally creamy and bursting with coconut flavor. The addition of shredded unsweetened coconut adds delightful texture, while a pinch of salt enhances the sweetness for a perfectly balanced taste. With just 10 minutes of preparation time and an ice cream maker, you can enjoy homemade frozen goodness with minimal effort. Perfect for vegans and those seeking a dairy-free, gluten-free alternative, this dessert is both indulgent and wholesome. Serve it scooped in bowls, garnished with toasted coconut flakes for an irresistible tropical finish.
Chill the cans of coconut milk in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the cream to separate from the liquid.
Scoop the solid coconut cream from the top of the chilled coconut milk cans into a large mixing bowl. Discard the watery liquid or save it for another use, like smoothies.
Add the coconut cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, shredded unsweetened coconut, and salt to the bowl.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, roughly 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a thick, soft-serve consistency.
For a firmer texture, transfer the churned mixture to a lidded freezer-safe container and freeze for 3-4 hours or until solid.
Allow the dessert to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving.
Garnish with additional shredded coconut or toasted coconut flakes, if desired.
