Coconut Tres Leches Cake

For anyone looking for the perfect cake to bring to a 4th of July BBQ tomorrow, I've got your recipe right here.  I made this for Father's Day a few weeks ago, and I'm going to make it again tomorrow.  It is AMAZING and pretty darn simple!  All you do is bake the cake and then pour the milk mixture on top of the hot cake and let it soak in.

I suggest making the cake right when you wake up in the morning, and then put it in the refrigerator for about 5 hours wherever the party is at. Then serve it up with some unsweetened whip cream and berries. Perfect for a summer BBQ! It is so rich & creamy and coconut-y. You won't be able to stop eating it!

Coconut Ice Cream

Ice cream is one of the best "foods" in the world!  And what's even better is having your own ice cream maker to make whatever flavor your little heart desires.  Last night I made coconut ice cream: 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, 1 cup of coconut milk, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla.  Whisk it all together until the sugar dissolves, and then put it in an ice cream maker for 20-25 minutes.  This is an easy version of coconut ice cream, and I think in the future I will try to make it again using coconut cream and shaved coconut.  Yummmmm!
