Coconut spread is a creamy and exotic treat. With its smooth texture and naturally sweet coconut flavor, it's ideal for topping ice cream, swirling it into the batter, or even incorporating it directly into the ice cream base before churning it with the Ninja Creami. Easy to make, it will quickly become a must-have in your kitchen for all your frozen creations.
Ingredients :
- 200g of grated coconut
- 70 ml of coconut milk (more if necessary to adjust the texture)
- 50g of coconut sugar (or white sugar, according to your preference)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 5 tablespoons of coconut oil (optional, for a creamier texture)
Preparation :
- Blending the coconut:
Place the shredded coconut in a blender and blend until it begins to release its oils and form a paste. This may take a few minutes, so be patient! If the mixture seems too dry, add a small amount of coconut milk. - Add the coconut milk and sugar.
Once the coconut starts to become creamy, add the coconut milk, coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt. Continue blending until you have a smooth paste. You can adjust the amount of coconut milk depending on the desired consistency. - Add the vanilla and coconut oil.
If you want an even smoother texture, add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract, then blend again until the paste is nice and creamy. - Store your spread.
Transfer the coconut spread to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It can be kept for several weeks. If it becomes too firm, simply warm it slightly before using.
My Personal Tip:
This coconut spread is perfect for swirling over vanilla or mango ice cream with Ninja Creami, creating a delicious and exotic effect. It's also wonderful as a topping on chocolate or berry ice cream. For even more texture and flavor, you can add toasted coconut flakes on top or serve it warm over ice cream for an irresistible hot-cold contrast!
Here it is, an ultra-indulgent homemade coconut spread, ideal for enhancing all your Ninja Creami ice cream creations and giving them an unforgettable tropical touch.
