Thank you for posting this. As soon as it hit my email, I was on a mission to create this. Thing is, living in FL, I suddenly wanted something fresh, so at the last minute, instead of chocolate I threw in pineapple, banana and fresh shredded coconut. HOLY COW!!! This recipe is thick, rich and delicious. My company LOVED it and wants me to make more. I did cook it first (brought the milk to a scald, added the milk slowly drizzling into the beaten eggs, reincorporated it, brought it back to a boil then let it cool). – Also, I used 8 drops liquid stevia, and 1 tbsp of organic sugar instead of palm sugar.
Thank you SO much for this amazing recipe, it’s a huge hit at my house now.

My husband will love this. I just made a batch of vanilla coconut ice cream this weekend (because I love vanilla). He adds chocolate chips to his. Making this will make him sooooo happy!

I made your carrot cake with coconut frosting from your book. It was amazing! I posted a photo of a slice on my site blog :)

This was a hit! I did not have the palm sugar, so I used agave nectar instead. I actually used 1/4 of a cup because I do like my ice cream sweet. We also used Heath Bar pieces instead of chocolate chips. Num!

I love the idea of adding a little alcohol to keep from freezing too hard. Would vodka have the least noticeable flavor in this recipe or another alcohol? Also, I have LIGHT coconut milk (canned) in my pantry from Trader Joe’s (only ingredients are coconut milk and water, no guar gum, etc.)—anyone know if it will work in this recipe?
Thanks so much!!!
