Homemade Coconut Ice Cream

When my husband and I were in Hawaii we tried some coconut ice cream. I vowed to myself as I was eating it that when I got home I was going to find a great recipe for homemade coconut ice cream. A few days after we came home, I was talking to my sister Shanon and she had mentioned that she just had the best homemade coconut ice cream at her in-laws. I couldn't believe my ears! So I got the recipe and made it that very weekend and it was even better then the ice cream I had in Hawaii! This is AMAZING!!!!!
