Magic Coconut Pie
I saw this recipe at the back of the packet of dessicated coconut which I bought for another recipe (Apricot Walnut Slice... another backlog blog). Usually I would need a picture or two to convince me to try a recipe so that I have a visual idea of how it should look like. Somehow it has been a while since I last baked, I need to finish off the packet and the recipe seemed so super easy (it is!), so I just braved it.
As I was just going to put the pie in the oven to bake, Hubby decided that we should have a outing with the kid. So I had to put the mixture into the fridge to chill and plan to bake it the next day for breakfast.
In the end, I think I under-baked it slightly as I did not wait for it to reach room temperature before baking it. Yah, I woke up late and was so hungry that I simply took it out of the fridge and into the oven. Thankfully my hubby looooooovvvveeeed it. Yes, will try it again with my next purchase of dessicated coconut.
