Serving suggestions:

• If you are making this ice cream on it's own (without the flourless chocolate cake) you can add pistachios or almonds to the custard. For an extra big flavor gently toast the nuts. Place the custard into the ice cream maker and allow it to churn for a while. As it thickens throw in the nuts nuts.
• Grate some fresh coconut over the top - it adds a beautiful texture to the ice cream.

Easy to make refreshing creamy smooth desert with a Mediterranean flair!

Enjoy!!!
