  • 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.

  • 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.
