This ice cream is so easy as all it involves is adding the zesty coconut flavour to store-bought ice-cream. But no one will know you didn't make it from scratch!

1/4 cup (20g) desiccated coconut
1 1/2 tablespoons grated lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/3 cup coconut milk powder
1L vanilla ice cream, softened
Biscotti, to serve

Lime syrup

1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
Zest of 1 large lime, plus 110ml lime juice
1 teaspoon arrowroot

Method

1.

Mix coconut, grated zest, juice and powder in a bowl. Place ice cream in a large bowl, add coconut mixture and stir to combine. Transfer to a plastic container and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
2.

Meanwhile, for the syrup, place sugar in pan with 110ml water. Stir over low heat to dissolve sugar. Add zest and simmer for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine lime juice and arrowroot. Add to pan and cook for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Chill. Serve ice cream with syrup and biscotti.
