🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 200 g shredded coconut
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (397 g)
  • 200 ml heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and heavy whipping cream. Stir gently with a spatula until smooth and well blended.

  2. 2

    Gradually pour in the coconut milk while stirring continuously to ensure a lump-free, silky consistency throughout the mixture.

  3. 3

    Fold in the shredded coconut in two batches, mixing well after each addition, until you achieve a thick and creamy filling. Refrigerate for 15 minutes before use for the best texture.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a deeper coconut flavour, lightly toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet before adding it. A splash of vanilla extract also enhances the overall taste beautifully.
