ไอติมกะทิ
Mild
Itim Kati is Thai coconut milk ice cream — a creamier, more fragrant and less sweet ice cream made from fresh coconut milk, served in a coconut shell with roasted peanuts and sticky rice.
Key Ingredients
- coconut milk
- palm sugar
- salt
- sticky rice
- roasted peanuts
Where to Try It
Street vendors throughout Thailand — the coconut shell presentation is standard; night markets are the best source.
Tips
- The sticky rice topping is not an accident — it adds textural contrast and soaks up the melting coconut ice cream beautifully.
