How to Make Cinnamon Coconut Swirl Ice Cream

Let the French vanilla ice cream soften slightly at room temperature until it's pliable but not completely melted (about 10-15 minutes).
In a medium bowl, gently fold in 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon and 1 cup of shredded coconut. Create a beautiful swirl effect by streaking the cinnamon and coconut throughout the ice cream.
Transfer the mixture back into its original container or a freezer-safe dish. Cover and refreeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
