Key Lime Pie

Toasted Coconut and Lime Ice Cream

Nutty coconut and bright lime come together in an especially creamy ice cream.

Islas Flotantes de Coco (Coconut Floating Islands)

Though some recipes call for baking the meringues and then slipping them into the custard, I follow the more traditional route and poach them. A bite reveals that these islands are rather more like clouds.

Tropical Pineapple, Mango, and Coconut Fools

The classic British fool, a dessert of fruit and whipped cream, is an ideal warm weather dessert because it's light and balance of sweet and tart fruit flavors. Spooned into this tropical take are layers of juicy mango, pineapple, and toasted coconut.

Key Lime Tart

Key lime pie is definitely an icon of Key West, Florida and a delicious dessert and even better as key lime tart. Using meringue instead of whipped cream is also a popular choice.

Coconut-Palm Sugar Ice Cream

Palm sugar lends a soft caramel flavor with a tinge of butterscotch that makes this ice cream special. Add coconut milk, eggs, and pandan to the team and we've got a combination of flavors that South East Asians have enjoyed for ages.

Scooped: Kaffir Lime, Ginger, Star Anise Sorbet

Star anise contributes more depth of flavor, elevating this from a citrusy ice to something more exotic. You don't need much, and it doesn't need to steep for very long to impart its flavor. The coconut water base is subtle and anise easily overwhelms everything it touches. But when your flavors are balanced, you'll be rewarded with a dessert that's bright and exotic, with a tinge of gingery heat and a kiss of licorice sweetness.

Ginger Beer, Rum, and Coconut Sorbet

Only after I served this was I told it was basically a scoopable Dark and Stormy. But that's no problem for me—the combination of ginger beer and dark rum is pretty awesome.

Guilt-free Frozen Mango Coconut Ices

These frozen mango coconut ices are a cooling, delicious guilt-free dessert––perfect for the last days of summer, outdoor barbecues and sitting by the pool.

Fruity No-Churn Ice Cream

This ice cream relies on the power of a stand mixer, rather than a proper ice cream machine, and can be made with any sort of freeze-dried fruit.
