You Will Need (6 things)

  • ¼ cup Flaked Coconut
  • 3/10 cup Whole Milk
  • 2 tbsp Strong brewed coffee or Espresso , cooled
  • ¼ cup coffee-flavored liqueur, such as Kahlua
  • 1 ½ pt vanilla or coffee Ice Cream
  • Whipped Cream

Steps (3 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the coconut in a pie pan and toast in the oven until golden-brown, stirring once or twice,
    8–10 minutes. Alternatively, stir the coconut in a small, nonstick
    skillet over medium heat until golden-brown, about 5 minutes. Let
    the coconut cool. (Toasted coconut keeps, covered, for several days at room temperature.)

  2. 2

    Put the milk, coffee, and liqueur in the blender container. Add the
    ice cream. Put the lid on securely, turn the variable speed dial to 1,
    and start the machine. Increase the speed to variable 8 and blend
    for 15 seconds, until smooth and frothy.

  3. 3

    Divide the ice cream mixture among cocktail glasses and top with
    whipped cream and the toasted coconut. Offer a spoon to stir the
    elements together.
