Ingredients

  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 200 ml double cream
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • grated zest of 2 limes
  • 60 ml lime juice about 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons white tequila

Instructions

  • Pour the coconut milk, cream, sugar and lime zest into a medium sized saucepan then slowly heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and bring the mixture just below boiling point.
  • Remove from the heat then stir in the lime juice. Pour into a bowl, cover and place in the fridge to cool overnight.
  • The next day pour the creamy mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 15 minutes.
  • Pour in the tequila whilst the ice cream is still moving and then continue churning for another 15 minutes until it thickens and becomes the consistency of very soft serve.
  • Decant the ice cream into a freezer container and put in the freezer to set completely overnight.
