- 14-oz. can coconut milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preparation
To toast coconut shreds, spread shreds in ungreased skillet and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning, or until shreds begin to brown. Set aside.

When firm, scoop mixture into container, cover and freeze for 30 minutes, if needed to firm. To serve, garnish each portion generously with toasted coconut.
