Coconut Nests for Ice Cream

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Coconut nests are made with coconut and sweetened condensed milk and chocolate, then they are baked and served filled with ice cream and sauce.

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ounce unsweetened melted chocolate (1 square)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups moist shredded coconut
  • Vanilla Ice Cream
  • Chocolate Fudge Sauce
  • chopped peanuts, optional

Preparation:

Combine sweetened condensed milk and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat; cook for about 10 minutes, or until mixture is thick. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Stir in coconut; blend well. Butter 6 muffin cups; pack about 1/4 cup of the coconut mixture into each cup. Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes, until edges are firm.

Gently lift nests from pans; cool thoroughly. To serve, fill with a big scoop of ice cream and top with chocolate fudge sauce and chopped peanuts, if desired.
