  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 14 oz can coconut milk
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • 15 oz can cream of coconut 
  • 3 tbsp Bourbon

Instructions
 

  • Place the heavy cream, coconut milk, and shredded coconut into a heavy bottom nonstick saucepot and heat it over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes until bubbles appear on the edges of the cream mixture.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the large egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow in color.

  • Gradually pour the remaining cream and coconut mixture into the egg yolks until combined. 
  • Return the spiked coconut ice cream base to the pot, place it on the stove and cook for 5-8 minutes, constantly stirring until it thickens slightly. 
  • Remove the spiked coconut ice cream base from the stove, pour it into a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl, and allow the spiked coconut ice cream base to cool completely.
  • Stir in the coconut cream, and bourbon then pour the ice cream into a blender and blend it until smooth. 
  • Return the spiked coconut ice cream to the bowl, place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on top of it and chill it for 6hours or overnight. 
  • Churn the spiked coconut ice cream in an ice cream machine, according to the manufacturer's instructions.  
  • Transfer the spiked coconut ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for 4-6 hours before scooping. 

Notes
