Step 1
Begin by pouring the can of coconut milk, heavy cream, and sugar into a saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture until the sugar has fully dissolved, stirring occasionally.

Step 2
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Continue stirring the mixture until the shredded coconut is fully mixed in and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 4
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 5
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 6
Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
