Island Affogato - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen
    1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
    1/2 cup cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez(R))
    1 1x3-inch strip of lemon peel
    2 toothpicks
    1 sprig fresh mint, leaves removed and stem discarded
    1 fluid ounce coffee liqueur (such as Tia Maria(R))
    1 fluid ounce dark rum (such as Myers's(R))
Preparation
    Place banana slices, pineapple chunks, and cream of coconut in a blender; blend until sorbet mixture is smooth and creamy.
    Freeze sorbet in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, or pour into a freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up large ice crystals, until firm, up to 2 hours.
    Coil lemon peel into a cylinder and secure with 1 toothpick. Insert mint leaves through the top to create \"pineapple\" leaves.
    Mix coffee liqueur and dark rum together in a coupe glass.
    Place a 2-ounce scoop of sorbet in a coupe glass. Pour coffee liqueur and rum mixture on top. Insert 1 toothpick into the center of the sorbet scoop. Place the \"pineapple\" garnish on top.
