directions

  • Mix half-and-half, cinnamon sticks, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  • Heat to scalding, stirring occasionally and being careful not to boil.
  • Reduce heat to and let simmer about 15 minutes to allow the cinnamon flavor to infuse the mixture. Remove cinnamon stick.
  • Slowly whisk about half cup of the hot half-and-half mixture into the egg yolks, then slowly whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
  • Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Add all remaining ingredients except coconut. Cool in refrigerator for at least an hour.
  • Pour cold mixture into ice cream container and process according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • If your ice cream machine has an "add in" chute, add the coconut after the ice cream starts to thicken, otherwise stir it in after it's done.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a software engineer living in Wilmington, Delaware. I'm originally from the South (north Florida), so I was raised on good old Southern cooking. I started cooking when I was 7 and have always loved to experiment and put my own twist on the dishes I make. While traveling and living in different places I've discovered a number of wonderful cuisines - Cuban, Thai, Greek, Indonesian, Indian, et al. I have a few dishes from each cuisine that I do really well. I love to experiment with recipes. One of my favorite things to do is figure out how a dish I like is made. If I have something at a restaurant that I really like I'll experiment at home until I come up with a creditable equivalent. It's great to be a member of this community. Where else could you find recipes from people living in every corner of the world? I love it! All of the recipes I've posted here are original unless stated otherwise in the description.
