Ginger Vanilla Float

• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (1/3 cup each)
• cilled ginger ale or ginger beer
• 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons lightly sweetened whipped cream
• 1 tablespoon toasted shredded coconut
• lime slice (optional)

1. Scoop ice cream into chilled 16 ounce glass.
2. Add the lime juice.
3. Fill with ginger ale or ginger beer (ginger beer has a much sharper, more spicy flavor, if you're unfamiliar with it).
4. Top with whipped cream and coconut and garnish with a lime wedge, if desired.
5. Serve immediately.
6. To toast coconut, spread flaked coconut on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
7. Remove from oven and store in an airtight container or bag until needed.
