Steps:
- Pour the coconut milk into a pan and heat gently. Remove from the heat. Put the sugar and egg yolks in a large bowl and whisk together until pale and the mixture leaves a trail when the whisk is lifted. Slowly add the coconut milk, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon. Strain the mixture into the rinsed-out pan or a double boiler and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring all the time, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. You may find that the mixture starts to separate, and if it does, simply whisk it vigorously until it is smooth again. Do not leat the mixture boil or it will curdle.
- Remove the custard from the heat, stir in the dry unsweetened coconut, then let cool for at least 1 hour, stirring from time to time to prevent a skin from forming. Meanwhile, whip the cream until it just holds its shape. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to use. When the custard is cold, add the coconut rum, if using, and mix well together.
- If using an ice-cream machine, fold the cold custard into the whipped cream, then churn the mixture in the machine following the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, freeze the custard in a freezerproof container, uncovered, for 1-2 hours, or until it starts to set around the edges. Turn the custard into a bowl and stir with a fork or beat in a food processor until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream. Return to the freezer and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until firm or required. Cover the container with a lid for storing.
- To prepare the tropical fruits, thinly slice and put in a large shallow dish. Sprinkle sugar and coconut rum, if using, over the fruit, then cover and let chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving with the ice cream.

Fold in the small diced fruit. Refrigerate for 1 hour. In a saucepot, combine the chopped mango, lemon juice, water and sugar together. Bring the mixture up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until the fruit is very tender. Pour the mixture into a food processor and puree until smooth. Remove and allow to chill for 30 minutes. In the hot grease, drop a heaping tablespoon of the beignet. Fry 5 to 6 at a time and stir constantly for even browning. Fry the beignets for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the fryer and drain on a paper-lined plate. Powder the beignets with powdered sugar. Spoon the coulis in the center of the plate.

Tips:
- Use fresh coconut milk. Fresh coconut milk is essential for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but be sure to use full-fat coconut milk.
- Chill the coconut milk and heavy cream before churning. This will help the ice cream to churn faster and smoother.
- Don't over-churn the ice cream. Over-churning can make the ice cream grainy. Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy, but still soft-serve consistency.
- Add the tropical fruits at the end of churning. This will prevent the fruits from freezing solid.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
This coconut ice cream with tropical fruits is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for a hot summer day. The coconut milk gives the ice cream a rich and creamy flavor, while the tropical fruits add a burst of sweetness and tartness. This ice cream is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
