Use Full-Fat Canned Coconut Milk: Don’t use coconut water or light coconut milk! Rich, full-fat canned coconut milk gives the filling its thick, velvety consistency and authentic flavor. 🥥
Toast Coconut Low & Slow: Toast your shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat or in the oven for 3–5 minutes. Keep a close eye on it, as it turns from golden to burnt quickly! ⏲️
Chill Completely to Set: Allow the custard to chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight) so it holds its shape perfectly when cut! 🧊
