Thanks I'll gve it a try.

I'm in search of a coconut pudding recipe. More interested in the coconut milk than actual coconut flakes in a vanilla type of recipe. Any tips or actual recipes?

If you could get it mixed into the tres leche part of the recipe, I'd think that is where it would fit best. You pour that over your cake, then let it sit overnight and the next night its party time! Who needs a jello shot when you have a tres leche cake!

I had seen that episode and much of what I created started from that (although I didn't deviate much). I did find that a regular box cake from certain brands were OK while others weren't. Then I replaced the whole milk with the coconut milk. Also added coconut flavoring to the whipped topping...

Yes traditionally its a white cake mix. I think either is just as good. I just prefer the color so its not all white. That frosting recipe I wrote above, I also use that for dipping with strawberries. I had tried doing this as a cupcake and I can tell you its not the same. I also saw in...

I agree entirely that, "even bad flan is still pretty good".

Can you tell me how her recipe differs? I'm curious. Also, have you made it?

I agree the cake needs to be not so spongy and have some girth to it (don't know how else to describe it). However, I have done it with the Duncan Hines regular cake mix and it was very good. I was looking to make the recipe as quick as possible and found that mix to be a very good replacement...

I love and have made flan a number of times. I decided to go in search of variations. I notice many call for the mixture to be cooked on the stove first before being tempered into the egg. I have used almost the same basic ingredients and have never cooked it on the stove. What do you gain...

My version of a Coconut Tres Leche - very simple This is my own recipe that allows me to make a very quick and VERY GOOD dessert the night before. Its always a crowd pleasure. Let me know if you make it and enjoy it. If you love coconut, it will taste better than where you currently get it...
