    Jam Coconut Slice

    There are many recipes for this classic treat. Basically it is baked sweet pastry that is topped with Jam and Coconut & Egg mixture. I use my ‘Easiest Sweet Shortcrust Pastry’ for the base because it is the right amount for 20cm Square Cake Tin that I most often use. DO NOT add too much …

    Coconut Ice Cream

    A few weeks ago, I became crazy about Coconut Milk and made cakes and desserts using it. I tried to make Coconut Ice Cream as well. I tried an easy recipe that I found on the internet. It was NOT very good. The texture was not smooth and it was too salty as I added …

    Morning Glory Muffins

    When I first heard about ‘Morning Glory Muffins’, I instantly knew I would love them as they are made with almost identical ingredients as ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’. The missing ingredients are Apple and Shredded Coconut. So, I added them to my ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’ as I reduced the amount of grated Carrots. I …

    Coconut & Almond Cake (Gluten-Free)

    When I first made this cake, it was to use up a can of Coconut Cream, which I bought by mistake. I often use Coconut Milk for cooking, but not Coconut Cream. Because of the high oil content of Coconut Cream, I didn’t add Butter to this cake. I didn’t add Flour either. I made …

    Coconut Milk Cake

    The other day, I baked ‘Coconut Cake’. As it was made with Desiccated Coconut, it had grainy texture. Some people like the grainy texture of Coconut Cake, but some people don’t. So, today I made this cake without Desiccated Coconut. It’s actually based on my ‘Pancakes‘ recipe. I used Coconut Milk and added some melted …

    Coconut Milk Sago Pudding with Mango

    When I make Sago (Seed Tapioca) Pudding set in mould(s), I always add some Gelatine as well, so that the pudding won’t fail. If set in serving glasses, Gelatine is unnecessary as the pudding can be soft. That’s what I learned when I made ‘Pineapple Sago Pudding’. Today I made this tropical flavoured Coconut Milk …

    Peanut Butter & Oats Cookies

    The other day, I saw Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies that can be made with Peanut Butter only. It reminded me an old recipe that I wrote when I tried to make ‘ANZAC Biscuits’ with Peanut Butter. The biscuits were too heavy and too overwhelming, and I gave up on the recipe. I tried the old …

    Coconut Cupcakes

    The other day I had leftover Coconut Milk. I used it to make my Basic Plain Cupcakes replacing Milk with it. I also replaced some Flour with Desiccated Coconut. The cupcakes turned out delicious and full of coconut flavour. Today I made the cupcakes again, and decorated them with a generous amount of Whipped Cream …

    Coconut Cake

    ‘Sachi’s Coconut Cookies’ are supposed to be flat and crispy, but sometimes they turn rather round and soft. Those soft ones are actually quite popular. Then I have made it into a cake by adding more Eggs and Lemon Zest. If you love the Coconut Cookies, this cake is dangerously addictive to you. Cake Tin …
