TWD : Banana Coconut Ice Cream Pie


Spike of spikebakes chose this wonderful no bake recipe this week and even if I have a wonderful ice cream place just around the corner I decided to make Dorie's Chocolate Ganache ice cream (wonderful !!).


I used an unsweetened coconut for the crust letting the cookies be the only sweetener and actually made half the crust dose.
I had problems figuring out how much is a pint of chocolate ice cream and in the end eyeballed it when adding it to the bananas.
I loved my slice: we'll see tonight what the rest of the family thinks.
Please visit Spike for the recipe and the other bakers for more Ice cream pie.

    Love the ganache. It's got a milk chocolate look to it. And I would have liked 1/2 the crust instead of the whole two cups of coconut. The photos on your blog are captivating. Love the heart shaped cupcakes.

    It's nice to get the occasional recipe where exact amounts aren't required, isn't it?

    That ice cream looks fantastic and perfectly chocolatey. Yummmm!
