~ homemade: in a nut shell ~

Coconut - nut or fruit?  Think about it...is it really a nut?  No it's a fruit.  But it does have nut in the word...so I just thought I would go with it!  Anyhoo, wouldn't you love to serve this up as part of your dessert...

Takes the ice cream to another level doesn't it?  These are the types of details I swoon over.  Simple...yes, but statement making ones.  And so simple to do once you get the coconut split (that's the only challenge here...here is a how-to)!  Just pour out the milk, add a couple scoops of ice cream, a wedge of pineapple and some fresh mint and viola!
