When we went to the weekend market in Bangkok. We saw an ice cream stall that sells coconut ice cream. Now I’m from the tropics and we have plenty of coconuts but I haven’t really tried this.
I love coconuts, but I was skeptical with the ice cream. But since I don’t want to be ignorant I ordered one to be shared with my partner. It was so delicious that I regretted sharing it 
It has sticky rice, crispies, and some peanuts on top. Like all the things I like in a coconut shell. Have you tried coconut ice cream? What do you think of it?

I had coconut ice cream just last night! Actually, it was frozen yogurt. But it was delicious!

I used to think coconut is best eaten as a normal fruit from its shell. I had a lot of dessicated coconut on things and I can’t really taste the coconut. I was thinking the ice cream would not be too good. I was surprised and glad to be proven wrong.

@moffittjc Oh wow it feels like you grew up in Asia. With the coconut climbing and coconut trees. You seem to have such a happy childhood and less sibling rivalry as both of you like different things. I’m surprised you don’t like mangoes.

@flapiz I love eating coconut from the shell. My grandmother used to have several coconut trees in her yard, and when I was a kid I would climb the coconut trees to cut down the fruit to break it open and eat it. My brother never liked coconut, so I always had it all to myself. He loved eating mangoes, which I never liked.

The Thai one tastes really good. I will check out the ones from Philippines this weekend.

Yes, I tried it on our first trip to Thailand. Delicious. Now, I have some each time we go. My first try, they served it with peanuts and corn kernels, which I found unusual, but very nice.

The roasted nuts make it a lot better. I want to eat it again. I can’t wait for my next visit.

I like pretty much anything with coconut in it.

Yes, I love coconut ice cream. But I can't have ice cream anymore because of diabetes.

we have buko ice cream and buko ice drop with beans on top, but of course, it's not the same. the combination of ice cream and sticky rice (malagkit?) is really new to me.

I think it was 40 Baht. I’m sure you can ask for no peanuts.
