Instructions:
For the Pineapple Banana Coconut Nice Cream:
- Line a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with parchment paper

To assemble the Gluten-free Tropical Nice Cream Sandwiches:
- Remove Pineapple Banana Coconut Nice Cream from freezer about 10 – 20 minutes before prepping your sandwiches.
- Toast 24 pieces (2 slices per serving) of Little Northern Bakehouse Sweet Hawaiian Bread
- Remove crusts and cut toasted bread to squares
- Cut Pineapple Banana Coconut Nice Cream into 12 even squares.
- Add 1 slice nice cream in between 2 slices bread.
- Dip or roll each side of your assembled sandwich into the toasted coconut.
- Serve and enjoy!
Makes 12 Servings.
tips:
- Make sure you use a creamy coconut milk like Silk, as a water-based coconut milk will make the nice cream crystallize.
- You don’t need to wait the full 10 – 20 minutes to serve, but doing so allows the nice cream to thaw a little, so it’s easier to cut.
