Monthly Mystery Ingredient Challenge: Coconut!

If you know me, you know I love coconut. That's why I chose COCONUT as the May Mystery Ingredient. Well, folks, it's that time, the winners have been chosen.

Surprisingly there were only a few entries, but that just makes my job easier. With only three entries, guess what? I get to name the TOP THREE winners. This is the KrAzY kItChEN after all.

Coming in first, the lovely Melissa of Frugal Creativity with a recipe after my own heart. Lucky for Melissa, one of the many things I miss about our Mexican vacation was walking barefoot down the beach with a few pesos in my swim trunks to the ice cream store. There, they sold The Best Toasted Coconut Ice Cream Ever. I can only hope that Melissa's recipe will compare. Because I am hopeful, Melissa wins the top spot with her Toasted Coconut Ice Cream!

1st Place Winner:


Our second place winner is Charlene of Secrets of a Southern Kitchen, with Quick and Easy Coconut Macaroons. These chewy flavorful cookies are another favorite of mine, I love them but rarely make them. I have a feeling that is about to change with Charlene's recipe!

2nd Place Winner:


And finally, we have Debbi of Debbi Does Dinner with her Almond Joy Amish Friendship Bread. Almonds, chocolate AND coconut? How can you go wrong with this one. I do have an Amish bread starter floating around the freezer somewhere, so this is definitely on my list:
