Then add all remaining ingredients into the bowl, except the coconut) and combine on low speed until fully incorporated. Top the cream with the coconut flake and seal with the lid.
Freeze for at least 4 hours (maybe longer depending on the depth of your bowl) or overnight.
Serve frozen topped with more coconut flakes if desired
