This is the first custard ice cream I have made where I didn't scramble the eggs first. Your instructions are much more helpful than any others I have read, especially since other never said when eggs will be begin to scramble. I think I may try a strawberry daiquiri recipe to use up that coconut milk and the rest of the cream I have. I just finished this ice cream and it is awesome!

I'll see if I can dig up the recipe. That's a huge amount of coconut milk all right! I think you could probably freeze it. I did make a pina colada sorbet once. I’ll see if I can dig up the recipe.

I am going to make your coconut rum ice cream this week, but I have a problem: the only coconut milk my grocery store sells is 2 liters so I have an abundance of coconut milk. Do you have a pina colada ice cream recipe to share? I would greatly appreciate it and I'll let you know how the ice cream turns out! Thank you so much and I look forward to making more of your ice creams. HI Kieran

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.
