No Churn Toasted Coconut Ice Cream
- Pour the cold coconut milk into a shallow pan and place it in your freezer. After 1 hour, remove the pan and scrape the ice cream with a fork and mix it around. Put it back into your freezer for another hour. Repeat these steps 2-3 more times, until the ice cream is frozen and creamy. If using, stir the chocolate chunks through the ice cream after the last time you scrape it with a fork.
