I did have to test this more than a few times, just to be sure...the things I sacrificed in the name of quality control! I love coconut desserts, and this is a thing of beauty. I hope you enjoy the magic chocolate coconut combo that I have explored before, and will no doubt explore again! This recipe is just one of the DELISH recipes that appear in Keeping it Simple, my cookbook that you should all have by now. (Just sayin’ there have been so many since then!!) So have a sneaky peek, give this a whirl, then go and invest! STAT.
