Notes
- For maximum volume, heavy cream and condensed milk should be very cold. You can also chill the bowl and the beaters in the freezer for about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Start beating the cream at low speed to build smaller bubbles for a stable foam. When the mixture begins to thicken, increase the speed to medium and continue to beat until you reach stiff peaks.
- Do not overbeat the whipped cream, or the fat in the mixture will separate from the liquid. You’ve reached stiff peaks when the heavy cream is thick and heavy and clings to the beaters. To check, turn the whisk up. The peaks should hold up proudly and should point straight up without collapsing.
- Drain the young coconut VERY WELL, as the extra liquid will cause ice crystals and a coarse texture.
- The lighter and airy the whipped cream, the silkier the ice cream. Gently fold in the coconut, making sure not to deflate the cream mixture.
- Press down plastic wrap or wax paper gently on the entire surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
