Thai Coconut Ice Cream (No Churn)
If you’ve ever had Thai coconut ice cream from a street cart in Bangkok, you know exactly what I mean when I say, "It’s pure tropical happiness in a cup!" This no churn version brings that same creamy, coconutty goodness right to your freezer. No machine, no eggs, and no dairy. And just like the ones I grew up with, you can top it with everything from roasted peanuts to sticky rice for that classic Thai flair.
Equipment
- 1 pot
- 1 blender (Any brand is good enough.)
- 1 ice cream tub (ice cream tub)
Ingredients
- 1000 mL coconut cream or coconut milk (full fat coconut milk)
- ¾ cup sugar (or granulated monk fruit)
- ¼ tsp sea salt (teaspoon)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla paste)
- 1 TBSP cornstarch (tablespoon)
Instructions
- Whisk ingredients: In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt. (Whisk well until smooth without heat.)
- Cook until thickened: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly for 10–15 minutes, or until the mixture slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon. (Turn the heat down to medium-low as needed.)
- Cool completely: Remove from heat and let cool. To speed up the process, set the pan in an ice bath for about 15 -20 minutes.
- Freeze the first round: Pour the cooled mixture into a freezer-safe ice cream container. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
- Blend and refreeze the second round: For an extra creamy texture, scoop out the semi-frozen ice cream, blend it until smooth, then return it to the container and freeze for another 8 hours or overnight.
- Serve and enjoy: Scoop and serve with toppings like sweet sticky rice, jackfruit, peanuts, or fresh fruit.
