The truth is, while everybody else is dealing with snow-pocalypse, here I am sunning on my patio feasting on toasted coconut ameratto ice cream. Don't be jealous, now.

This recipe is so simplistic, but so delicious. I usually hate coconut, but I found the amaretto helped balance it nicely. This is a recipe that I will definitely make again!
