This coconut ice cream is wonderful! It’s sweet, fresh, and with lots of coconut flavor, which we love. From my point of view, recipes that are made with a specific ingredient have to taste like the ingredient they are from. I mean, a strawberry cake has to taste like strawberries, or blueberry cookies have to taste like blueberries, otherwise, the ingredient in the recipe is not really the main ingredient.

This is why, in the case of our recipes, they all taste a lot like the ingredient or ingredients they are made with.
Ice creams, for the summer, are a beauty, especially if they are cool and do not have too much milk in the base, to be able to withstand the heat that comes in these months and also have something sweet that satisfies us.
This coconut ice cream has coconut cream (coconut cream) and also dried coconut, which gives it an intense coconut flavor, because it does not have many other ingredients in the mix. It is an ice cream or snow that can be easily made at home, the only thing you really need is to have a food processor of some kind, which can be one of the typical ones, or a smaller one of those used to make individual smoothies or shakes, that is more than enough.
This snow or ice cream is smooth, creamy and fresh tasting with a sweet touch that goes very well. It is great with vanilla cookies, or by itself.
