Tips

  • Use full-fat coconut milk. Light coconut milk freezes icy and crumbly.
  • Toast the coconut flakes in a dry pan for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until golden. Cool before adding.
  • Expect a crumbly first spin. A Re-spin with a splash of coconut milk makes it creamy.

Why it works

Full-fat coconut milk has about 20% fat, close to a rich dairy base, so it spins creamy without any cream. Sugar lowers the freezing point so the tubpint stays soft enough to scoop.
