Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 200 ml Coconut cream
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 small (diced) Pineapple
- 1 large (diced) Mango
- 2 medium (sliced) Kiwi
- 2 whole (pulp scooped) Passion fruit
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes). Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container, place it in the freezer, and whisk every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours to break up ice crystals.
While the ice cream is freezing, prepare the tropical fruits. Dice the pineapple and mango, slice the kiwis, and scoop out the pulp from the passion fruits.
When the ice cream is ready, scoop it into bowls or dessert glasses.
Top each serving with a generous mix of the diced tropical fruits.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an optional burst of flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical paradise in every spoonful.
