Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1½ cups (360ml) unsweetened coconut milk beverage
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 5 large egg yolks
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- ½ cup (80g) powdered monk fruit allulose blend
- ¼ cup (25g) Dutch processed cocoa powder
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the egg base by combining egg yolks, powdered sweetener, and sea salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture becomes pale yellow and well incorporated.
- In a medium saucepan, blend coconut milk, heavy cream (236 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces), and cocoa powder. Apply medium heat, gently whisking intermittently until the liquid approaches a gentle simmer. Immediately remove from heat source.
- Create a tempering process by gradually streaming the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously and vigorously to prevent egg coagulation.
- Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat. Stir frequently until the temperature reaches precisely 170°F (76°C), which typically requires 3-5 minutes of careful monitoring.
- Transfer the custard to a storage container, seal completely, and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours. Ensure the mixture drops below 40°F (4°C) for optimal texture.
- Pour the thoroughly chilled custard into a pre-frozen ice cream maker bowl. Activate the churning process according to manufacturer guidelines, which usually spans 20-25 minutes, until achieving a soft-serve consistency.
- For optimal serving, either enjoy immediately as a soft-serve dessert or transfer to a freezer-safe container and allow to solidify for a traditional ice cream texture.
Notes
- Take time to carefully mix hot cream into egg yolks, whisking continuously to create a silky smooth base without any scrambled egg bits.
- Ensure your ice cream maker’s bowl sits in the freezer for a full day before churning to guarantee optimal freezing and creamy results.
- Cool the custard mixture completely in the refrigerator for several hours, allowing flavors to develop and helping achieve a luscious, velvety texture.
- Monitor the churning process closely, stopping when the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency to prevent a grainy, over-processed final product.
- Allow the freshly churned ice cream to rest at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, making scooping effortless and enhancing its luxurious mouthfeel.
