Mango-Coconut Ice Cream Pies with Blackberry Sauce Recipe

Mango-Coconut Ice Cream Pies with Blackberry Sauce Recipe

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut (about 4 1/2 ounces), lightly toasted
  • 1 pint coconut ice cream, slightly softened
  • 1 pint mango sorbet, slightly softened
  • 2 cups frozen unsweetened blackberries, thawed, juices reserved
  • 5 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon blackberry liqueur, crème de cassis (black-currant-flavored liqueur) or brandy
  1. Line six 3/4-cup custard cups or ramekins with double layer of plastic wrap, leaving 3-inch overhang. Spoon 2 tablespoons toasted coconut into bottom of each cup. Divide coconut ice cream among custard cups (about scant 1/3 cup each); spread evenly and press to compact. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon coconut over ice cream in each cup. Spread mango sorbet evenly over, dividing equally. Cover with plastic wrap overhang. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
  2. Puree blackberries with juices in processor. Strain puree into medium bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much fruit and liquid as possible. Discard solids in strainer. Stir sugar and liqueur into blackberry puree. (Pies and sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Keep pies frozen. Cover and chill sauce.)
  3. Using plastic wrap overhang as aid, pull out pies from custard cups and invert pies onto plates. Peel off plastic. Spoon blackberry sauce around each pie; serve.
