Ingredients
- 800 ml Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tsp Lime zest
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Once cooled, stir in the lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to ensure it is completely cold.
Step 5
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (this usually takes about 20-25 minutes).
Step 6
When the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 7
Freeze for at least 3 hours or until firm.
Step 8
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy your Coconut Milk Lime Ice Cream!
