Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 cups water
- 2 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut cream
- 2/3 cup Sage Honey Brown Butter, divided
- 3 tablespoons Frangelico
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted, chopped
- Pinch of sea salt
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300F.
Step 2
Spread the shredded coconut in an even layer on a sheet pan and bake, shaking the pan occasionally, until the coconut is an even dark amber color, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
While the coconut is toasting, stir together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and xanthan gum in a small bowl.
Step 4
Combine the toasted coconut, corn syrup, and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Add the sugar mixture and whisk vigorously until smooth. Set the pan over medium heat and cook until the sugar has fully dissolved, about 3 minutes, stirring often and adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent a simmer.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup sage honey brown butter and coconut cream. Let the base cool.
Step 6
Transfer the cooled mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 6 hours, or for even better texture and flavor, 24 hours.
Step 7
The next day, add the ice cream base into the ice cream maker. Churn for about 25-30 minutes. Check your machine manual as time may differ from one machine to another.
Step 8
OPTIONAL: Hazelnut Brown Butter Sauce:
Step 9
In a small saucepan or frying pan, toast the chopped hazelnut for about 2-3 minutes at medium-low heat, stirring constantly.
Step 10
Add the remaining Sage Honey Brown Butter, sugar, Frangelico, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the alcohol evaporates – about 1-2 minutes.
