#1267 - Frozen Coconut Punch

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 - 2 liter bottle Sprite (chilled)
1 - 46oz. bottle Dole pineapple juice (chilled)
1 - 20oz. bottle Dole pineapple juice (chilled)
8oz. Coco Lopez cream of coconut (a little over half of a 16oz. can; add more if you wish; in most grocery stores you will find it in the aisle with the mixed drink items)
2 quarts premium vanilla ice cream

Set the ice cream on your counter until it gets soft. In a large plastic bowl add softened ice cream and all pineapple juice--stir until mixed. Add cream of coconut--stir until mixed. Slowly add Sprite and stir after each addition--continue until all of the Sprite is in the mixture. Pour the mixture into four separate plastic bowls. Put the lids on the bowls and freeze them until they make a thick slush. When ready to serve remove one bowl, stir the mixture, and pour it into a large serving pitcher--pour into glasses. If the mixture has frozen past the slush stage, let it sit on the counter a few minutes before trying to stir it. Remove other bowls as needed, letting them thaw when necessary. It melts pretty quickly so it's not a good idea to try putting all of the mixture into a punch bowl and serving it from there.

1 - 7oz. package Baker's angelflake coconut
2 TBSP canola oil

In a mixer, add cake mix, 1/2 of the bag of coconut, canola oil, egg whites--beat. Slowly add milk--beat until smooth. Pour batter in a 9 x 13 x 2 greased cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes--test with a toothpick for doneness. Remove from oven and while warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon and poke deep holes in the cake 1" apart over the whole cake. Pour the can of cream of coconut over the entire top of the cake. Let cake cool completely, then spread Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle the other 1/2 bag of coconut over the top of the cake.
