NO-CHURN ICE CREAM
It is always convenient to pick up a tub of ice cream from the nearby store when the craving kicks in. But sometimes it is really fun to make Ice cream from scratch at home. Digging into perfectly creamy homemade Ice cream is really satisfactory. And not to mention homemade ice cream is free from artificial ingredients.
It might be frustrating to see ice crystals in your ice cream. Usually, No churn or the ice cream made without an ice cream maker is not creamy enough and has tiny ice crystals in it. Ice cream makers churn the ice cream and prevent ice crystal formation. And by churning it also incorporates air and make the ice cream light and airy. The same texture is difficult to achieve without an ice cream maker.
There are recipes which call for churning the ice cream every 30-40 minutes for 4-5 times to break the ice crystal and incorporate air to the mixture.
CREAMY COCONUT ICE CREAM
This Coconut Ice Cream doesn’t need an ice cream maker and no churning required yet is so creamy and light. Here is why…
- Using full fat Cream and Coconut milk helps to make the Ice cream Creamy. Because of higher fat content, the formation of Ice crystal s is very negligible.
- The amount of sugar added is very less, instead of sweetened condensed milk is added for sweetness. Condensed milk also helps to make the Ice cream creamy.
- Whipping Heavy cream until light and fluffy helps to incorporate air to the mixture and makes the Ice cream light.
- Because of very low (almost negligible) water content. very fewer chances of ice crystal formation. Which means perfectly scoopable Ice cream.

- In two batches pour coconut milk mixture to whipped cream. Using spatula fold until it is fully incorporated. Make sure to fold gradually to retain as much air as possible.
- Pour the mixture in to a rectangular shallow container.
- Place a piece of cling wrap or baking paper on the surface and press gently.

- Coconut extract has quite an intense flavour so 1/8 teaspoon was enough for me. You can increase it up to 1/4 teaspoon depending on how intense coconut flavour you prefer.
