Coconut Ice Cream

This lovely ice cream comes from Guadeloupe’s Pointe des Châteaux beach, where it’s churned by hand by women working under beach umbrellas or from the backs of their station wagons. For the best results, use made-from-scratch coconut milk. In a pinch you can make it with canned coconut milk (try Goya or A Taste of Thai); do not use coconut cream.
