Course Dessert
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans coconut cream
  • ½ cup xylitol (or sugar)
  • 4 tbsp Local Village roselle, blended to a powder
  • ½ tsp xanthan gum

Instructions
 

  • Place the coconut cream and sugar in a saucepan on medium heat. Whisk for 3-5 minutes to dissolve the sugar.
  • Add the roselle and whisk to infuse. Allow to stand for 5 minutes. Pour the mixture through a sieve to drain the powder from the liquid. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Bring to a simmer, remove from the heat, add the xanthan gum and whisk.
  • Pour the ice cream in a container. Allow to come to room temperature before placing it in the freezer for 4-6 hour to freeze.
