THAI VEGAN COCONUT ICE CREAM
This vegan coconut ice cream was inspired by my many trips to Thailand and is absolutely divine! One really important thing about making coconut ice cream - the base must be really well chilled before churning in the ice cream maker or the ice cream will be too soft and slushy. Try and chill it for a minimum of three or fours hours. Overnight is actually preferable for the best results. Even then, I find that the ice cream never gets to a consistency beyond that of frozen yoghurt in the machine. I like to transfer the ice cream into the freezer for a few hours to solidify it a bit more before serving. I like to add natural coconut flavoring in order to accent the coconut flavor. But it is also wonderful with vanilla extract. It is all a matter of personal preference. You could also add in more shredded coconut if you prefer a crunchier texture. You can also add in cacao powder or fruit to the mix too. But I like it just like this!

Tips:
- Use full-fat coconut milk. This will give your ice cream a rich and creamy texture.
- Chill your coconut milk and ice cream maker bowl before churning. This will help the ice cream freeze faster and smoother.
- Add your desired flavorings after the ice cream has churned for a few minutes. This will prevent the flavors from freezing and becoming icy.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this ice cream. Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until frozen.
- Store the ice cream in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
