One of my most vivid memories as a child was visiting one of my favorite ice cream parlors, where homemade ice cream was their specialty. I always ordered the coconut flavor, made with delicious toasted, shredded coconut. Years later, I learned how to make coconut ice cream and, from that time, it's been a dessert I always have ready to offer guests or serve on special occasions.
