List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 cup all-purpose flour
â—¦ ½ cup salted cashews, chopped
â—¦ ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
â—¦ ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
â—¦ ½ cup butter, melted
â—¦ 2 cups heavy whipping cream

Recipe

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a small bowl, combine flour, cashews, coconut, and brown sugar. Stir in butter. Sprinkle into a greased 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once. Cool on a wire rack.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the cream, milk, lime juice, zest, and vanilla. Refrigerate until chilled.

Fill the cylinder of the ice cream freezer two-thirds full; freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.

Sprinkle half the cashew mixture into an ungreased 11 x 7-inch dish. Spread ice cream over top; sprinkle with remaining cashew mixture. Cover and freeze 4 hours or until firm. Garnish servings with whipped cream and lime slices, if desired.
