-
Prepare the Pan:
- Line a 9″ x 9″ pan with wax paper, ensuring that it covers the bottom and sides of the pan. This will make it easier to lift the bars out later.
-
Layer the Crumb Mixture:
- Press half of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating a firm and even layer as the base for your bars.
-
Prepare the Coconut Topping:
- Mix the shredded coconut with the remaining crumb mixture. This adds a delightful crunch and tropical flavor to the top of your bars.
-
Prepare the Ice Cream Filling:
- In another mixing bowl, fold the pineapple tidbits and almond extract into the vanilla ice cream until well combined. The pineapple adds a burst of fruity sweetness, while the almond extract enhances the tropical flavor profile.
-
Layer the Ice Cream:
- Spread the pineapple-infused ice cream evenly over the crumb mixture in the pan, ensuring a smooth and consistent layer throughout.
-
Add the Coconut Crumb Topping:
- Sprinkle the coconut crumb mixture evenly over the top of the ice cream layer, adding an extra layer of texture and flavor to your bars.
-
Freeze Until Firm:
- Place the pan in the freezer and allow the bars to freeze until firm, typically for about 2 hours or until completely set.
-
Slice and Serve:
- Once the bars are firm, remove them from the freezer and lift them out of the pan using the wax paper. Cut them into individual bars using a sharp knife, and serve immediately for a refreshing tropical treat that will delight your taste buds.
