Jah rawstafari's Thoughts
By jah rawstafari I know, another ice cream “recipe.” I just have to share the flavor idea because it came out absolutely divine!
Tastes like frozen cool whip and chilled sweet potato pie whipped together!
I did this on a whim, so the measurements above are “ish.” :)
I have a small “Donvier,” a hand-crank ice cream maker, and it was perfect fluffy goodness in 20 minutes.
I used filtered water because I didn’t want the coconut to overpower the sweet potato. I think this would also be good with some sort of nut-crumble topping or cookie to add the pie flavor. I’m just trying to cut out/back away from nuts.
Enjoy!

I'm definitely trying this! I have 3 coconuts and a sweet potato that's growing eyes and begging for playtime.
Thanks!!

Hey, can you use coconut flakes for a vegan recipe??

Hi bitt. The coconuts I used are the thai young coconuts, that are already down to the white husk. They are flat on the bottom and coned on top. (Carried at almost all health food stores or Asian groceries) Depending on the age of the coconut, the meat inside can vary once you crack them open. Some will be very white and firm, others will be a purplish hue and jelly-consistancy meat. For ice creams, in general, you are going to want the firm kind. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing what you are going to get. Sometimes I have to open more than one, but most of the thai ones are pretty consistant.OR if you are lucky enough to score young green coconut from a neighbor's tree - that is even better, because the thai coconuts are not organic.

Hi rawkidchef - how do you mean? After blending you treat it like any other ice cream and freeze according to your favorite method. i.e. ice cube tray and then put through juicer; or ice cream machine, ball, whatever.
Hope that helps:)
