Cherry Garcia Coconut Ice Cream
- Ice Cream
- 2 cans full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound cherries
- Fudge "Ripple"
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- In a saucepan over medium heat, simmer coconut milk and sugar until sugar dissolves.
- Place egg yolks in a medium bowl; reserve egg whites for another use. Whisk yolks until they appear lighter in color, like a pastel yellow.
- Ladle one scoop of the warm coconut milk into the eggs, and whisk quickly until combined. Repeat 2-3 more times until eggs are warm.
- Add egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining coconut milk. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until mixture thickens.
- Stir in vanilla extract and remove from heat.
- Strain ice cream base through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl or storage container. Let ice cream base cool completely in the fridge, for 2-3 hours or overnight.
- Just before you're ready to process your ice cream, prepare your cherries and fudge sauce. For the cherries, if fresh, pit and half. If frozen, let thaw.
- Divide prepared cherries in half. Coarsely chop half the cherries, and mash or puree the remaining cherries.
- For the fudge sauce, bring coconut cream to a simmer in saucepan.
- Pour cream over chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Cover and let sit for five minutes.
- Stir the chocolate and coconut cream together, then stir in the remaining ingredients. Let cool before using.
- When base is cool and cherries and fudge sauce are prepared, process the ice cream base according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
- Once the base is thickened and almost finished, add in the chopped and mashed/pureed cherries just until combined.
- Layer ice cream with fudge sauce in a loaf pan, swirling with a knife as you go. Serve immediately, or freeze.
