Notes
- Use the highest-fat coconut milk you can find. Try to use coconut cream or milk with no added ingredients for the best results.
- We've added the optional step of blending the coconut cream as we've found in recipe testing that this is the best way to ensure that coconut milk ice creams stay smooth and creamy without any grit.
