Silken tofu provides a vegan alternative.

Break open the coconut and remove the meat.

Place the coconut meat in a bowl and add 0.5 cup of water to soak it.

In a saucepan, bring 400 ml of milk to a boil with a lemon peel and 2 cinnamon sticks.

Add 0.5 tsp of vanilla extract to the boiling milk.

Once the milk boils, let it simmer for 1 minute to infuse flavors, then turn off the heat.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 7 egg yolks and 150 g of sugar.

Strain the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, mixing quickly to avoid cooking the yolks.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat gently, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool.

In another bowl, whip 500 ml of heavy cream with 100 g of sugar until it forms soft peaks.

Once the custard is cool, fold it into the whipped cream gently.

Divide the mixture in half; add the soaked coconut to one half and mix well to create the coconut ice cream base.

For the chocolate ice cream, add 15 g of cocoa powder and 15 g of sweet chocolate to the other half and mix well.

Pour the coconut mixture into ice cream molds and the chocolate mixture into another container.

Freeze the coconut ice cream for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.

To make traditional paila ice cream, mix ice and coarse salt in a paila, then add the coconut mixture and stir for 30-40 minutes until frozen.

Once the coconut ice cream is ready, transfer it to the freezer.

After 20 minutes, check the chocolate ice cream and freeze for another hour if needed.

Serve the ice creams and enjoy.
