Almond Joy candy bars are my husbands favorite.  That’s why I decided to to whip up a batch of Almond Joy Ice Cream for Fathers Day.  This ice cream would also be perfect for a luau, beach party or pool party.

I got my coconut flavor not only by adding toasted coconut but by also using Cream of Coconut.

You can find it in the mixed drink section at your grocery store.  Cream of Coconut is used to make Pina Colada drinks.

For more ice cream fun you can also choose to make Pistachio Pudding Ice Cream or Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream.
