Ingredients

• Ben & Jerry`s Coconut Ice Cream recipe
• Sweet Cream Base I
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
• 1 cup milk
• Sweet Cream Base II
• 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup half-and-half
• Sweet Cream Base III
• 2 cups light cream
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, cold
• 1 x 15 oz can coconut cream, such as Coco Lopez
• Select a Sweet Cream Base option and prepare as per instructions below. Add the coconut cream and blend.
• Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Make generous 1 quart.
• Sweet Cream Base I
• Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend.
• Sweet Cream Base II
• This simple recipe is made with a minimum of ingredients and requires no cooking. It makes a very creamy ice cream with 25% butterfat, but it does not store well in home freezers, so be prepared to eat it all.
• Pour the cream into a mixing bowl. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the half-and-half and whisk to blend.
• Sweet Cream Base III
• This recipe makes a less creamy, less rich ice cream. Ben likes the slightly "cooked" flavor of the sweetened condensed milk.
• Whisk the light cream and the sweetened condensed milk together in a mixing bowl until blended.
