Ice cream is a frozen sweetened product made out of heat treated mix consisting of edible fat and milk solids with or without other ingredients and permitted additives. In this study coconut milk was used as the main substrate and the coconut soft ice cream was prepared with the help of an instant ice cream machine (Hitachi) which was set at a hardness level of 6.0. The objectives of this study were to develop coconut milk ice cream with 2 flavours (vanilla and chocolate), to determine the overall acceptance of vanilla flavoured and chocolate flavoured ice cream (sensory evaluation), to determine the overall acceptance of the treated ice cream and to find out the proximate composition of the best treated ice cream. The vanilla ice cream consisted of 37.3% total solid, 9.32% fat, 30.6% sugar and 0.27% protein while the chocolate flavoured ice cream consisted of 38.1% total solid, 9.42% fat, 30.6% sugar and 0.27% protein. Acceptance testing was carried out to gather information on the liking of the products based on a 5-point hedonic scale. According to the sensory evaluation of both types of ice cream, 95% of the responses fell in 4 and 5 of the hedonic scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
