Ingredients

For the ice cream:

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 15 ounce can full fat coconut milk

  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut toasted
  • 12 ounces sparkling water*
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed key lime or lime juice
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • shredded coconut toasted, for serving

Instructions

To make the ice cream:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring cream, coconut milk and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and chill thoroughly in fridge.
  • Once chilled, freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Fold in toasted coconut. Transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze until ready to serve.

To make the key lime sparkling beverage:

  • To prepare the floats, add 2 to 3 scoops of ice cream to a large glass. Top with sparkling beverage and extra coconut, as desired. Enjoy!
