Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups peeled and sliced carrots
2 cups coconut milk
1 cinnamon stick
1 stalk fresh lemongrass, trimmed, smashed, and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 quarter-sized slices ginger
pinch salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine the carrots, coconut milk, cinnamon stick, lemongrass, ginger and salt in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the carrots are soft, about 8-12 minutes. Cover, turn off the heat, and let set to infuse 30-60 minutes.
  • Fish out the cinnamon stick, ginger and lemongrass and pour carrot mixture into a blender. Add cornstarch and blend until smooth.
  • Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Position a fine mesh sieve over a medium bowl with a spout and place in the ice bath.
  • Return the carrot mixture to the saucepan and add honey and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook over medium high heat for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Make sure the temperature is not too hot, or the mixture will blup up out of the pan.
  • Strain through the sieve into the bowl with a pouring spout, pressing to separate the liquid from any solids. Add the cream and stir until chilled. Cover and refrigerate until very cold (overnight if possible).
  • When ice cream base has chilled, churn in ice cream maker, according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Transfer to a sealed container and freeze to bloom for at least 3 hours. Just before serving, remove from freezer and allow to rest 5-10 minutes before scooping into bowls.
  • Makes about 1 quart
