Preparation Steps
1
In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, stirring constantly. Do not boil.
2
Stir in the shredded coconut and vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the coconut flavor to infuse fully.
3
Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature. Then, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a smoother ice cream texture.
4
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and stir it every hour during the freezing process.
5
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
