Fresh Coconut Ice Cream

Fresh Coconut Ice Cream

Really amazing Coconut Ice Cream is a mouthful of tropical heaven. Every time I make it, I wonder what else I could add to it, a little chocolate, maybe some nuts?
 
Then I realize, I’m not accessorizing a little black dress, and this icy, creamy concoction needs nothing more than a bowl, a spoon, and your mouth. I know what you’re thinking but trust me it’s that good!
