Baobab ice cream

Easy to make baobab coconut ice cream (no eggs, no churn)
Servings 4
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 8 hours 10 minutes

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1,1 cup whipping cream (120 ml)
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar or sweetener (75 g)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (236 ml)
  • 1 cup condensed milk (236 ml)
  • ½ cup baobab powder (30 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste (5 g)
  • cup desiccated coconut (optional) (27 g)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Make sure that all ingredients are chilled. Soak the baobab powder in coconut milk. Stir it in the milk thoroughly and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl whip the whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla paste until getting stiff peaks.
  • In a separate bowl combine the soaked baobab with coconut milk and condensed milk. Stir that all the ingredients fuse together.
  • Take a couple of dollops of vanilla whipped cream and gently fold them into the coconut, baobab and milk mixture. 
  • Pour the coconut milk mixture into the whipped cream in several batches. Stir gently to retain as much air as possible in the mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into a rectangular tray. Cover with a wrap or parchment paper and press it down gently so that the mixture is covered with no air left.
  • Freeze for eight hours, it's best to freeze it overnight. Stir the mixture every hour in the first four hours of freezing.
  • Before serving, let it rest for about three minutes at room temperature. Scoop the ice cream and top it with quickly toasted coconut or a drizzle of white chocolate. Enjoy!

NOTES

Choose organic ingredients. For the best results, use high-quality, organic ingredients.
Choose ingredients with high-fat content. Ingredients with more fat reduce ice crystals, resulting in a creamier texture.
Make it keto-friendly. Substitute sugar with a sweetener or omit it entirely for a keto version.
Be gentle. Gradually and gently fold the coconut baobab mixture into the whipped cream to keep it airy.
Freeze it quickly. Place the ice cream in the coldest part of the freezer for a smooth texture.
Stir every hour for the first four hours. This will help break up the ice crystals.
Add alcohol. A small amount of wisky or liqueur prevents the ice cream from freezing too hard.
Make it tropical. Add pineapple chunks for a refreshing, tropical flavor.
Add white chocolate. Mix in white chocolate chunks or drizzle for a rich treat.
Create popsicles. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, freeze, and drizzle with white chocolate for a fun twist.
