  Haven't tied this exact recipe, but adapted it as follows. Whizz a punnet of blueberries in the mixer (can add sugar or honey to taste if desired), mix with 1/3 cup of coconut milk powder, 1/4 cup of tablespoons of dessicated coconut, & juice & grated zest of 2 limes as in the original recipe. Stir all this into a litre of slightly softened, good quality vanilla icecream & refreeze for a very creamy, tangy icecream. Great served topped with a syrup made by heating 1/2 cup castor sugar, grated zest of 1 lime & 110 ml lime juice with 1 tsp arrowroot til slightly thickened, then cooled to serve.

  Marandha, you should have just tried the recipe as written, why do people insist on changing recipes to such a degree that it ceases to be the named recipe, you cant possibly pass comment on it by doing this! Try it first then adapt otherwise you will never know what you have missed! And using ready made vanilla ice cream, what's that about?!

  I love this recipee and have made it many times. Occasionaly I do substiute the coconut cream for low far coconut milk and a half fat double cream (elmlea or something similar), it tastes fine and is less damaging to the hips, but I do prefer the original version, I normaly make double the amount though as there just isn't enough for the hungry hordes I cater for

  I made this a few weeks ago and it turned out great. I also made another batch where I changed it to a Raspberry, Coconut and Lemon Ice Cream. I used 125 g of fresh raspberry's and only one lemon, but otherwise I stuck to the original recipe. I think it turned out a bit better than the blueberry batch.

  This was my first go at making ice cream using an ice cream maker. It turned out brilliantly. The texture was smooth and creamy, and the combination of flavours worked so well. The tangy blueberries and hint of zesty lime is balanced with subtle coconut flavour. The natural colour of the blueberries made it look even more appealing. Served this with leftover blueberries. Will definitely be making this again very soon!
