To create the Coconut Dream, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream or coconut whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- Fresh pineapple slices and shredded coconut (for garnish)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Begin by greasing a baking dish or individual ramekins with a generous amount of butter or by using cooking spray. This step will ensure that the Coconut Dream dessert doesn't stick to the surface during baking, making it easier to serve and enjoy the delicious tropical treat.- In a bowl, combine the shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Thoroughly mix the ingredients together until they are well combined and evenly distributed. This step ensures that the shredded coconut, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt are properly incorporated, creating a cohesive batter for the Coconut Dream dessert. Take your time to make sure all the ingredients are fully integrated, resulting in a harmonious blend of flavors and textures in the final dish.
- Pour in the melted butter, coconut milk, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined, forming a smooth batter.
- Transfer the coconut batter to the prepared baking dish or divide it evenly among the individual ramekins.
- Place the dish or ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the Coconut Dream from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the dessert warm, either in the baking dish or individual ramekins.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut whipped cream.
- Garnish with fresh pineapple slices and a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a tropical flair.
