    Coconut Sago Pudding Dessert

    This is my copy of a dessert that I ate at a restaurant the other day. It was quite dark in the restaurant and my eye sight was not very good, but the dessert looked like this. My copy tastes pretty close to the original, which cost $12. Well, if you make it by yourself, …

    Coconut Muffins

    The other day I made ‘Basic Plain Muffins’ replacing Milk with Coconut Milk, and the result was pretty good, but a little bland as you can imagine. Today I added Diced Dried Apricot and Shredded Coconut as topping. I think Dried Pineapple would be good, too. These Muffins smell so good. Makes 12 Muffins Ingredients …

    Coconut Milk Bread

    Probably you won’t taste Coconut in this bread. This bread tastes like ordinary bread, but it smells good. Today I used 1/2 cup Coconut Milk and 1/2 cup Water. For stronger Coconut flavour, you can increase the amount of Coconut Milk. You might prefer using Coconut Milk only. Loaf Tin Standard Loaf Tin Ingredients 2 …

    Black Sesame & Coconut Milk Cake

    Black Sesame Seeds are not a popular cooking ingredient in Australia. People don’t use it for cooking. In Japan where I grew up, Black Sesame Seeds are used for many desserts. I believe the flavours of Black Sesame and Coconut are a good match. This cake doesn’t look very pretty but it smells amazing and …

    Crushed Pineapple & Coconut Muffins

    The other day, I wanted to use up a can of Crushed Pineapple and I googled for cake recipes. Some American recipes came up, and again I was shocked at the amount of Sugar they required. Some recipes required 2 cups Sugar on top of 1 can Crushed Pineapple which is sweet. I added just …

    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 …
