How to Make Coconut Ginger Macadamia Ice Cream

  1. Heat 2 cups milk, 1 cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and strain out the ginger.
  3. Return the milk mixture to the saucepan.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and pale. Whisk in 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup coconut cream until smooth.
  5. Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly.
  6. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  7. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  9. In the last minute of churning, add ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts and 2 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger.
  10. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to harden further.
