Lychee Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup thin coconut milk
• 1 cup reserved lychee syrup from a can of lychees
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/2-3/4 cup sugar or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped lychee (about 12 pieces)

Preparation Method

• Combine cream, coconut milk, reserved syrup, egg yolks and sugar in a 1 1/2 - 2-quart saucepan.


• Cook gently over low-medium heat, stirring, until thickened and mixture coats the    back of a wooden spoon.


• Stir in vanilla extract and remove from heat.


• Strain mixture into a metal bowl and chill, covered, for at least 4 hours or overnight.


• To freeze, follow ice cream machine’s manufacturer directions, adding chopped    lychee when ice cream is almost frozen.


• Transfer to a container and freeze until serving time.


• Alternatively, freeze ice cream in a bowl with a tight-fitting lid and stir well every hour    until frozen.


• This will result in an ice cream that has somewhat of an irregular texture, but    delicious nonetheless.
