1

Start by preparing the crust using white sandwich bread, removing the crusts from 2 pieces for each scoop of ice cream.

2

Roll the bread out slightly to make it a bit larger, ensuring it is not too thin or too thick.

3

Scoop the ice cream onto a plate and freeze it for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm it up.

4

Take the rolled-out bread and place the scoop of ice cream in the center, bringing the corners of the bread up to cover the ice cream.

5

Wrap the bread tightly around the ice cream using plastic wrap, twisting to secure it, and label if using multiple flavors.

6

Freeze the wrapped ice cream until rock-solid, ideally overnight or for at least 6 hours.

7

Prepare the pineapple coconut caramel sauce by melting chopped palm sugar in a pot until it caramelizes, stirring occasionally.

8

Once the sugar starts to melt, add coconut milk and stir until the sugar dissolves again, then add pineapple juice from canned pineapple.

9

Let the sauce reduce until it reaches a thick consistency, then add pineapple pieces and cook for a few minutes to meld flavors.

10

Finish the sauce by stirring in butter off the heat to prevent separation.
