Coconut Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

It's been a while! Life has kept me busy recently so I haven't been creating as much. This time of year I always make at least one batch of my husband's favorite ice cream for his birthday. Since this is a concoction that I modified for him, I felt it fitting to add to my recipe blog. I hope you enjoy it as much as our family does!



The key to this recipe is the richness you get from the cream of coconut. You can find cream of coconut in a can in the mixers section of your grocery store. It's used to make traditional pina coladas. I double this recipe, but I have a large Ninja mixer so it will all fit during the blending process as well as a large ice cream maker that makes 4 quarts at a time.
