Excellent recipe. I just purchased an ice cream freezer a few days ago and this was my first recipe. I actually used light coconut milk and half half to make the recipe a little lighter and it worked great. I also added some flaked coconut at the end for some extra flavor and texture. This is just like the ice cream at my favorite thai restaurant!

This was great! It was our first ice cream in our new machine. We used half and half instead of heavy whipping, upped the sugar to 2/3 cup and used between 1/3-1/2 a tablespoon of imitation coconut extract instead of the rum. We could have maybe used a little less of the extract, as it was very coconuty, but overall still wonderful. It was as good as the stuff I had on the beach in Mexico!

Absolutely delicious! I substituted 2% milk for the heavy whipping cream and used lite coconut milk rather than regular. It is probably not as creamy as the original but much healthier! I didn't have coconut rum on hand so just used a bit of coconut extract. Topped with toasted coconut... mmm blissful!

I live in the middle of Wyoming and work hard for the money. I love to cook & bake, to play in the dirt, to be in natural surroundings, to be surrounded by green and living things, even though my thumb is not exactly green and my kitchen is never clean. Since stumbling across this site while researching Thai wedding customs for the nuptuals of a family friend, I have rekindled my joy of cooking. Thanks to all who have inspired me and to all for the happy times it has given!!!
