A favourite dessert on the island of Aitutaki, the Aitutaki Snowball is, in fact, a ball of vanilla ice cream rolled in fresh desiccated coconut - a simple yet perfectly islandy take on ice cream!

Ingredients:

2 scoops per person of vanilla ice cream or coconut ice cream
desiccated coconut, to coat

Method:

Preparing this is simplicity itself, just make sure all your utensils are nicely chilled before you start.

Take two scoops of vanilla or coconut ice cream per person. Roll these in desiccated coconut until nicely coated (this is your 'snowball') then serve.
