Method
Warm the coconut milk, coconut cream, sugar and salt together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Stir in the cornflour slurry and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-proof container and leave to cool completely.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, whisking vigorously every 45 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals and keep the texture smooth.
Scoop into bowls and scatter with the crushed roasted peanuts to serve.
