It’s so quick and easy to make! We are talking about less than 20 minutes to finish your ice cream mixture. Basically, all you have to do is add all the ingredients together – except for the Bounty bars. Your ice cream maker will do the rest.

You don’t get it everywhere! Yes, I know – you can get coconut ice cream in many places. And they have probably added some chocolate too. But does it taste like Bounty? This ice cream has real Bounty bars added to it and I think it gives that extra exotic taste.

It’s Philadelphia style, but you’ll never know it! Even though this recipe is made without eggs and a cooked custard, it’s still creamy and easy to scoop right out of the freezer.

How to make Homemade Bounty Ice Cream

In a bowl, add the coconut milk and sugar together and whisk until the sugar dissolves.

Then add the cream and vanilla extract and give it another gently whisk.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. If you have an ice cream maker with a compressor, you don’t really need this step. But with a frozen bowl machine, we want our mixture to be as cold as possible when we start. The warmer the mixture, the faster the liquid in the bowl will thaw – which again means less churning time.

Next, add the mixture to your ice cream maker and freeze it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

While the ice cream is freezing, chop the Bounty bars. I like to make it as fine as possible, so it spreads out more when we add it to the ice cream.

Add the shredded coconut to your ice cream maker during the last 5 minutes of churning.

Ones the ice cream is done, transfer it to your ice cream container and fold in your chopped Bounty.

Ready to eat or harden it more in the freezer – that’s up to you 🙂

Enjoy!

Tips

• Feel free to add more Bounty bars if you like. I find four bars to be a good combination with the rest of the ingredients.

• Swap for red Bounty? – Sure! I enjoy the blue Bounty bars that are covered with milk chocolate but switch to red if you are more into dark chocolate. No problem!

• If you don’t think the chocolate that covers the bars is enough, you can always add some extra. My wife will usually add more chocolate on top, while my daughter and I like it as it is.
