This delicious coconut ice cream dessert is an island favorite, especially around old San Juan, Puerto Rico, where street vendors' carts offer frozen coconut balls like these as a refreshing antidote to the tropical heat. Before you book a flight to the island, try this easy-to-prepare recipe that captures the authentic flavor of the region. The key to making it is two of our signature products: coconut cream, which adds a sweet coconut flavor, and coconut milk, which gives it a creamy, smooth texture. Mix these two products in an ice cream maker and you will find that it is the closest you can get to a trip to the Caribbean without leaving your kitchen.
