Coconut Pineapple burfi

Notes

Note:
  1. We can make this ice-cream in ice-cream maker as well.
  2. Cream of coconut will help get a nice creamy and smooth texture of ice-cream.
  3. Usually cream of coconut is much sweetened so there is actually no need to add extra sugar but in case if it is not sufficiently sweet then add sugar according to your taste.
  4. Ice-cream should be stored in plastic air tight container so that it can stay fresh for a longer time.
 
Chocolate Flakes:
  • Take any dark chocolate or dark chocolate compound and make it flakes through knife or shredder.
 
Serving:
  • Serve the coconut burfi and top it with two small scoops of coconut ice-cream and sprinkle some chocolate flakes on it.
  • Alternatively, it can also be topped with chocolate sauce and nuts for a crunchy taste.
