Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 fresh coconut (about 12 ounces)

3 cups whole milk

5 large egg yolks

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup cream of coconut

1/2 cup sweetened angel-flake coconut

 

Puncture the eyes of the coconut with a nail, and drain the milk into a small

saucepan. Using a hammer, crack open coconut. Remove the outer shell and

dark-brown skin; discard. Grate flesh.

 

Cook coconut milk over low heat until reduced to syrup consistency, about 20

minutes. Set aside.

 

In a large saucepan, combine whole milk and grated coconut. Bring to a gentle

boil, cover, and remove pan from heat. Let steep 1 hour. Pass mixture through a

cheesecloth-lined sieve, pressing very hard on solids. Reserve strained whole

milk, and discard solids.

 

Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle

attachment. Cream at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3 to 5

minutes. Return whole milk to a simmer.

 

Add half of the warm whole milk to egg-yolk mixture, and whisk until blended.

Return new mixture to saucepan with remaining milk. Cook over low heat, stirring

constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden

spoon.

 

Have ready an ice-water bath. Remove saucepan from heat, and immediately stir in

cream. Pass mixture through a sieve set over a medium bowl. Place bowl in

ice-water bath, and chill. Add reduced coconut milk and cream of coconut.

 

Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Add

sweetened coconut flakes, and mix in machine until combined, about 30 seconds.

Store in an airtight plastic container up to 2 weeks.
