Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tsp Lime zest
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Once cooled, stir in the lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to ensure it is completely cold.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (this usually takes about 20-25 minutes).
When the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze for at least 3 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy your Coconut Milk Lime Ice Cream!
