Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp coconut extract

Equipment

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl

Directions
 

  1. Toast the coconut in a dry pan for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring so it does not burn. Set it aside.
  2. Stir the condensed milk, heavy cream, whole milk, and coconut extract until smooth. Chill the mixture as your ice cream maker directs.
  3. Churn it in a 1½-quart ice cream maker for 25 to 30 minutes.
  4. Fold the toasted coconut into the nearly finished ice cream and move it to a covered container.
  5. Freeze for 4 to 6 hours, until scoopable.
