And all these years later I have remembered and dreamed about its deliciousness.
No kidding. Itโs just one of those desserts that stays with you!
A few days ago, I was browsing my pinterest boards and saw this recipe, and let me tell you, this dessert was as good as I remembered it. Nice, light tasting and perfect for hot summer days, plus thereโs a lot of it so itโs great for feeding a crowd too. And besides being delicious, one of the greatest things about Coconut Cream Delight, is that you can make it up to 2 days ahead of time, which makes entertaining so easy!
