Ice Cream
Ingredients
2 cups cocnut milk 1 cup water 4 eggs 1 teaspoon of vanilla or rosewater (optional) pinch of salt 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut sprigs of mint for garnish
method
Stir fry the coconut until golden (optionally use a few pieces of fresh corn... Thais often flavor ice cream with things considered unusual to western tastes).
Heat the coconut milk and water over medium heat, stirring continuously for a couple of minutes. DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL.
In a bowl beat two eggs, plus two yolks, then add the other ingredients, and whisk gently.
Transfer the mixture to a double boiler over gently boiling water, and slowly blend in the hot coconut milk, stirring until the mixture thickens to form a continuous slightly sticky coat on the back of a spoon lifted from the mixture.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then transfer to a metal ice cream tray or similar container and place in the coldest part of the freezer for one hour.
Remove to a food processor and beat slowly until smooth (this incorporates some sir into the mixture and prevents it becoming too hard), then return to the freezer and complete the freezing process.
