Great, easy recipe! However you need an ice cream machine to complete. Personally I would halve the amount of desiccated coconut added and ADD sugar to taste as it's not naturally very sweet (even with the cream of coconut) Mostly thumbs up! - 12 Feb 2013
i have just made this, this is my first attempt at making home made ice cream, it was so easy to make will be making more flavours, my friends want to try some - 14 Aug 2014
This is a very luscious coconut ice cream. The only thing I will do different next time is put the flaked coconut in the blender/processor with the milk and cream of coconut. The flakes made the ice cream a bit chewy in texture. Otherwise, this recipe is very easy and extra creamy. For those reviewers that are saying theirs turned out icy or not sweet, there is a huge difference between cream of coconut and coconut milk. It is like the difference between evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. Two brands to look for in cream of coconut are "Coco Lopez" and "Coco Colada". - 28 May 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
