🍨 How to make Coconut Ice Cream
Step 1
✅ First, put the grated coconut in the blender jar and add water to cover the coconut and blend to make the condensed milk.
✅ Strain the coconut milk and make the second milk in the same way (watery milk). Do not add too much water the second time.
✅ Now put the prepared coconut milk in a bowl, cover it with a lid and keep it in the fridge for two to three hours.
✅ In the meantime, cut the bananas into slices and add the juice of a lime to it to get the bitterness of the bananas.
✅ Now cover the bowl with the bananas with a lid and keep it in the freezer for two to three hours.
✅ When the coconut milk is left in the fridge for two to three hours, a layer of oil like cream will appear on top.
✅ Now take the oil layer on top with a spoon and put it in the blender jar. (Do not take the water part below)
✅ I usually have about 250ml of that coconut cream.
Step 2
✅ Add the bananas that were in the freezer, add sugar, vanilla, and if you are adding food coloring, add a small amount like a drop at this time and blend well for three to four minutes.
✅ Now put this mixture in a bowl, cover it and keep it in the freezer for 2 hours.
✅ After two hours, it will have set well like ice cream.
✅ Then leave this ice cream outside for 2-3 minutes and after it melts a little, put it back in the blender for a short time (2-3 minutes) and blend it.
✅ Put it back in the bowl and keep it in the freezer for about 7-8 hours.
✅ After that, you can taste the delicious coconut ice cream.
✅ You can eat it by leaving it outside for about five minutes without eating it.

✨ Tips for Perfect Homemade Coconut Ice Cream
- 🥥 Use fresh coconut for the best flavor. If you use old coconut, the flavor will be reduced.
- 🍌 Use well-ripened fruits (bananas, mangoes, and avocados). This will make the ice cream naturally sweet and creamy.
- ❄️If you keep the fruits in the freezer before blending, the texture will be smooth like ice cream.
- 🥛 After taking the coconut milk out of the fridge, use only the thick cream layer that comes out on top. Do not mix the water at the bottom.
- 🍦 Freezing the ice cream first and then blending it again is an important tip to make the texture extra creamy.
- 🥄 Cover the bowl with an airtight lid and put it in the freezer. Otherwise, ice crystals will form.
- 🌈 It is better to not use food coloring for a natural look. If you add mango or avocado, you will get a natural color.
- 🍫 When serving, you can add cashew nuts, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or fruits to enhance the taste.
- ⏳ Take it out of the freezer and serve after keeping it for about 5 minutes. Then it is easier to scoop.
