Making Coconut and Strawberry Ice Cream

First of all, to make this fresh and very delicious ice cream, first you have to open the coconut, with a corkscrew pierce two of the three holes located at one end of the nut of the latter, turn it over and let the liquid inside come out and set aside, then proceed with the hammer, give firm taps turning the coconut, in this way you will have two halves, then with a knife separate the pulp from the shell applying a certain pressure, and rinse them under running water, wash the strawberries by removing the stem and cut them into segments, pour the fruit in a separate bowl and transfer the coconut shells to the freezer.

Once this is done, take a saucepan and pour the liquid cream, milk, and strained coconut water into it. Add the sugar and let it dissolve completely. Add the grated coconut, coconut pulp, and strawberries. Stir with a whisk, turn off the heat, and let it cool. Once the ice cream mixture has cooled, pour it into a container and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture every half hour for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.

Serve them in coconut shells and decorate with fresh fruit of your choice, and there you have one of the most delicious ice creams to enjoy with your friends. Enjoy your meal!
