Serves 6

Ingredients

Heavy cream
2 cups
Condensed milk
1 cup
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Macapuno (sweet coconut meat)
1 cup, shredded

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in the shredded macapuno, ensuring that it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a lidded container, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to achieve a creamy texture. Otherwise, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it becomes firm.
  5. Serve the macapuno ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy the tropical goodness!

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweetness.
  • 💡 You can also mix in some toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
  • 💡 For those who enjoy a hint of chocolate, drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the top when serving.
