Coconut ice cream

Tip all of the ingredients, except the coconut flakes, into a saucepan over a low-medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 min, then remove from the heat and leave to cool completely, about 1 hr.

Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream machine and churn for 30 mins-1 hr, according to the manufacturer's instructions. At this stage, it will still be soft. Scrape the churned ice cream into a freezerproof container or loaf tin and freeze for at least 4 hrs or overnight until it is firm enough to be scooped.
