An amazing coconut ice cream!

This dessert is inspired by one of my many trips to the British Virgin Islands. I have never forgotten that delightful and heavenly coconut ice cream that was discovered on the tropical island. My family and I enjoyed this dessert as frequently as we could in our short time. Since then,nothing has compared. I have dreamt about this amazing delight. Once I learned how to make ice cream, I had to recreate it. Every time I eat it, it takes me back to that mountainous island. I am transported back to the white sand beaches, dirt roads and the smell of salt in the air. Create this wonderful dessert and let it deliver you to the beautiful island. It is well worth the trip!
