I'm not sure whether this is "real" Biscuit Tortoni, but if you like coconut macaroons (and sinfully rich desserts), you should love this. When we were kids, my sister and I got to choose what my mother cooked for dinner on our birthdays. Actually, of course, she could have just cooked the dinners without asking, because we always asked for our favorite foods. So on my birthday, dessert was always Coconut Macaroon Ice Cream. BTW the prep time figure obviously doesn't count the overnight freezing time.
