Recipe Note
Note: Put the coconut cream in the refridgerator over night. This way the cream becomes solid at the top of the tin and is easier to scoop out.
This pudding makes a great coconut cream pie, just fill a Low Carb Mama pre- baked pie crust and set in the fridge to cool before adding whipped cream and toasted coconut.
