Ingredients
Method
1.In a medium saucepan, combine milk, cream and coconut. Bring almost to boiling point on medium heat. Remove from heat and set aside to infuse 5 minutes.
2.Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk egg- yolks with sugar, until very thick and pale.
3.Gradually pour milk into yolk mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
4.Return mixture to clean saucepan. Cook on medium heat 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Do not boil.
5.Cool to room temperature. Pour into the bowl of an ice-cream machine and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (about 40 minutes).
6.Pour into a chilled 5-cup freezer container. Freeze 2 hours until completely firm.
7.Sprinkle with coconut flakes. Serve with mango.
The coconut flakes we used come from health food shops. If you like, toast them before serving by spreading them on an oven tray and baking in a moderate oven, 180°C, 4-5 minutes.
