Two of my favorite flavors unite again in this delicious ice cream pie. Chocolate and coconut!
I love coconut. It reminds me of the beach. I immediately begin fantasies of my toes in the sand. The ocean waves crashing. A good book in my hand.
Oops. I’m dreaming again. Wake up, Mel! Wake up! Back to ice cream pie. Remember, you were supposed to be writing a blog post. Sorry.
Anyway, this pie came about when I just wanted to find away to make an awesome coconut ice cream. I then wanted to serve in some other form that just a dish or cone. So that’s how it came to be.
I have to give you a fair warning. This pie is sweet. You may be satisfied with only half a piece like me. But I on the other hand did have plenty of taste testings along the way.
So here’s a delicious cold pie to serve on beautiful summer day.
Hope you enjoy it.
P.S. No dreaming while you’re eating it either! *wink*
Love and blessings,
Melanie
