Coconut Cream Ice Cream
14 oz Coconut milk -- available in Specialty food stores
1 c Heavy -- (or whipping) cream
1 c Milk
1/2 c Sugar
1 tb Pure vanilla extract
4 lg Egg yolks
1/4 c Dark rum
1/2 c Shredded coconut
Combine the coconut milk, cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a heavy
saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the milk is hot but not
boiling and the sugar is dissolved, about 10 minutes. Remove from
the heat.
Place the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk to mix. Whisking constantly,
slowly pour in 1 cup of the hot milk mixture and whisk until smooth.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the saucepan, whisking constantly
until well combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir
the mixture constantly until it is thick enough to coat the back of
a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. The mixture should never boil.
Strain the mixture into a bowl and stir in the rum and coconut. Cool
to room temperature.
Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
