I used your recipe for the coconut and rum excluding the malibu and for the pineapple I used 2 cups of pine purée (be sure to get rid of the eyes) 1/2 cup condensed milk - 1 cup coconut cream - I blended these together left them in the fridge for 24 hours (it was supposed to be 12 but I got tied up) along with the ice cream mix (in separate bowls) and put them together when I was ready to make the ice cream. It came out really well, everyone loved they just thought the pine was a bit too mild so next time I will try cooking the pine instead. I made sure to take some pictures (smile). I have promised myself your book as my Christmas present if I can find it in the US Hello Kieran,

Toasting the coconut is so important as it adds a lovely textural element. I also used coconut cream (as it was already in the cupboard). Now to critique... Your sugar measurement is in ml, I presume you meant grams. Also 3/4 cup of coconut weighed 60g on my scales. The ice cream after 35 min in my ice cream maker was still very soupy, I gave it a couple of stirs while setting in the freezer and ice crystal formation doesn't seem to be a problem. I guess that is the alcohol content (both making freezing slower but helping prevent ice crystals). My only other comment is a small but picky one. The ingredient list doesn't follow in the order that you need ingredients. Making it easy for someone like me to forget something! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! Now I have a craving for pineapple sorbet. At least in Darwin it is always ice cream weather... The coconut and rum ice cream is a winner.

What's the place like, do you know?
