{make it} toasted coconut ice cream sandwiches... 22 Jun 2010

Last week, I was craving toasted coconut and decided to make toasted coconut ice cream sandwiches for some friends for dessert. They're super easy, sooo tasty, and perfect for summer.

You'll need:
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Sweetened Shredded Coconut Flakes
- Graham Crackers

Here's how:
- Slice vanilla ice cream into rectangles to sandwich in-between 2 full graham crackers.
- If you can make ahead of time, wrap each sandwich in aluminum foil and freeze overnight. If you freeze at least a few days in advance, the graham crackers to be soft and more chewy, rather than crispy.
- When ready to serve, make the toasted coconut by sautéing over medium heat on a frying pan or wok. Stir constantly until brown and crispy.
- Rim the edges of the ice cream sandwiches with the cooled toasted coconut.

Enjoy!
