Ingredients

Coconut ice cream

2 cups milk
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup light corn syrup, warmed
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Few drops vanilla extract
1 cup shredded coconut
Toasted coconut, for garnish

Instructions

Coconut ice cream

Pour milk into a heavy-based saucepan and bring to just below boiling point.
Put egg yolks with the syrup into a bowl and beat until thick. Beat in the hot milk and butter.
Return the mixture to the rinsed pan and cook over low heat until the custard thickens, stirring constantly. Do not allow it to boil.
Remove from the heat and add vanilla extract and coconut and let cool, stirring occasionally.
Pour the mixture into a container. Cover and freeze until firm, beating twice at hourly intervals.
About 40 minutes before serving time, transfer the ice cream to the refrigerator.
Serve each portion decorated with a sprinkling of toasted coconut

How to Roast Pecans

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Put 1 tbsp. of butter into a bowl, and then melt it in a microwave.
Coat a baking sheet in a thin layer of cooking spray
Toss the pecans in the bowl of butter until they are all coated relatively evenly. Spread them out on the baking sheet when you are done.
Insert the baking sheet into the oven for five to seven minutes, or until you can smell the pecans cooking. Keep a close eye on them, as they can be easily burned.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and let the pecans cool completely before eating them.

How to Roast Almonds

Set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Divide 1 lb. of raw almonds into two piles that weigh 8 oz. (1 cup) each
Spread one pile of almonds evenly in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread the other pile the same way in the other baking dish.
Bake both dishes of raw almonds for 10 to 12 minutes. A nutty smell will emerge from the oven when they are done roasting.
Remove the baking dishes from the oven, and set them on top of the stove.
Sprinkle 1 1/2 tsp. of sea salt evenly over each pan of almonds.
Cool the almonds for one hour before serving
