I'm lactose intolerant, so I was glad to find a coconut ice cream recipe that didn't contain any dairy.

The coconut flavor in these squares is just right. It's not too overpowering.

I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the ice cream mixture, and it really enhanced the flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut, but these squares were surprisingly delicious. The coconut flavor was subtle and complemented the ice cream perfectly.
