Since I made a spicy dish of chili fried rice for a friend, I also made an ice cream dessert too cool things down a little. This ice cream was filled with rumbutans, coconut milk and topped it with some toasted, shredded coconut.
I added one can of
drained rambutans into the food processor, then added it to a bowl with 1 cup
coconut cream, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar and some
lime juice. Also added
cinnamon, some chocolate chips, and organic almond essence that I had around. Pour everything except the chocolate chips into my 2 quart Cuisinat ice-cream maker, and add the chocolate chips after the mixture has thickened.
25 minutes later, the ice cream is done!
Note: Not as hard and creamy as the retailed ice cream, but more like a
soft-served ice cream. I like the flavors of the rich coconut with the lime and little bits of rambutans, chocolate chips, and a hint of cinnamon! Since I saw Steamy Kitchen's matcha ice cream post
here, I had been wanting to take my ice cream maker out for another spin.

Mmmm, I don't have an ice-cream maker... :(
You have all the great ingredients...yummy. I looooove rambutan, used to have a tree in the house when I was little.
Thanks Judy! Too bad I can't send you some. :(
Thanks Rasa Malaysia! Me too. Must have been fun to have a rambutan tree!
Dear V,
Can I make ice cream without ice cream machine? My kitchen is small and I am trying to avoid buying another kitchen appliance.
I wonder what happened to my comments. Perhaps it is not moderated yet. Would a juice blender work for making the ice-cream?
Hi Lee Ping,
I know that my girlfriend makes ice cream without an ice-cream maker. Will check with her and let you know, ok?
Hi Alice,
Sorry, but I didn't see an earlier comment from you. You can certainly use the blender to chop up the rambutans and mix the ingredients (not choc. chips) together.
Thanks.
