Coconut Rough Ice Cream

Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 100g dark chocolate (70%)
  • 300ml full cream milk
  • 85g sugar
  • 3 free-range egg yolks
  • 300ml thickened cream
  • 100g shredded coconut

Preparation

  1. Snap the chocolate into pieces, then place in a heavy-based saucepan with the milk.
  2. Heat gently, stirring, until smooth, then remove from the heat to cool slightly.
  3. Beat the sugar and egg yolks in a bowl until pale and thick. Stir in the cooled chocolate milk, then strain back into the pan.
  4. Cook the custard over a gentle heat, stirring all the time, until it thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Don’t allow the mixture boil or it will curdle.
  5. Pour into a bowl and leave to cool, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once cooled, whip the cream into stiff peaks, and fold through the chocolate mixture.
  7. Churn in a Cuisinart ice cream maker, for 40 minutes, until it’s frozen.
  8. Add the shredded coconut to the chocolate mixture 5 mins before the churning ends.
