Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 75 g Erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 tsp Coconut extract
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 30 g Unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, heavy cream, and erythritol over medium heat.
Stir the mixture constantly until the erythritol completely dissolves, ensuring the mixture doesn't come to a boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add coconut extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes.
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the unsweetened shredded coconut.
Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 1 hour for a more firm consistency before serving.
Before serving, let the gelato sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping.
