coconut ice cream. version no. 2.



the second version of coconut ice cream. no more coconut puree  - it's all used up now!
this ice cream is made with cornstarch instead of eggs, to bind the mixture and to make it smoother and creamier.
this recipe is even fruitier than the first version, no extra fat (from the eggs) to interfere with the taste. and it melts nicely in your mouth. and it's a lot lighter in color, almost white like real coconut!
but check out first recipe here. and decide for yourself - they're both great!
