Yummm. Coconut is totally my weakness. I'm almost glad my husband won't eat it. I'm not sure if that means more for me, or I don't make it for that reason.

OMGoodness! I'm a goner....sittin' here with the muchies and I'm pretty sure I have all of the ingredients!

You're a bad, bad girl @Mothertrucker! LOL!

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

@Mothertrucker

Is that sweetened coconut?

Mothertrucker · ‎01-30-2015

@DiAnne, I know its overkill, but yeah, I used the AngelFlake brand, though certainly you dont have to- its based on a Fllipino cake that is also super sweet!

you could certainly use a coconut in a more "natural" state...

These sound so good and I'm going to definitely try them so thanks for sharing. Could you explain the very last line in ingredients. I understand about dividing the coconut but what follows that?
