Prepare the Potatoes

Boil 2 medium peeled potatoes until very soft (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and mash thoroughly until completely smooth.

Blend the Potato Mixture

Add the mashed potatoes, powdered sugar, and coconut milk to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

Make the Custard

In a small bowl, whisk together the custard powder and cornstarch with 2-4 tablespoons of water until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour the custard mixture into the blended potato mixture. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat.

Freeze and Serve

Let the mixture cool completely. Pour into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 7-8 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Potato Custard Ice Cream

For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk and very ripe, starchy potatoes.
If your ice cream is too icy after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavorings! Try adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for a warm, spiced twist.
For a richer flavor, you can toast the cornstarch in a dry pan before mixing it with the water and custard powder.
