When I was young I loved the texture of the coconut chocolates sold at the Fannie Mae kiosks in the local mall. The coconut was very finely cut and all throughout the chocolate. The texture was sublime. I wanted to recreate that sensation in an ice cream that was as rich as I remembered that confection to be. If you don't have a vanilla bean use extract. In order for it to be the right texture though, you have to have (unsweetened) desiccated coconut. Leaving the untoasted coconut in the base overnight really intensifies the coconut flavor. - NicoleCLang
