Quick No Churn Coconut Ice Cream

Easy no churn coconut ice cream with delicious toasted coconut! A favorite summer dessert.

My husband loves toasted coconut and this is one of his favorite ice cream recipes. And I love how quick and easy it is to make. No ice cream machine needed! Just a few ingredients and a mixer is all you need to create this smooth and creamy dessert.

It’s no secret that my family loves ice cream and I make a lot of it throughout the year. I still make my traditional coconut ice cream recipe but you can’t beat how simple this one it.

All you need to make it is a hand mixer, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, heavy whipping cream and some toasted coconut!

I like to time this one for those hot summer nights sitting with my family sitting on the porch. And with only about ten minutes to prepare, it’s probably going to be one of your favorite no churn ice cream recipes too.

How to Toast Coconut

The toasted coconut adds an amazing nutty flavor to this ice cream and adds a satisfying crunch. So you don’t want to skip it!

While you can toast coconut in the oven and even the microwave, I prefer to do it on the stovetop. It creates a more evenly toasted finish and allows you to keep an easier eye on them to avoid buring.

To get the perfect toasted coconut add your shredded coconut to a medium skillet and heat over medium low.

Stir constantly with a spatula and remove them from heat as soon as they are golden brown.

While you can bake or microwave your coconut, do it on the stovetop for the perfect toasted ice cream topping.
