- 19 February 2020
Those caramel-coconut slices have the perfect sweetness and texture. The bottom is a bit crusty and the two top layers are soft and a bit tangy. Combined together they melt in the mouth leaving a great aftertaste.
They are perfect for parties as they can be cut into one-bite size pieces, serve as a great, fancy-looking (and tasting) dessert after romantic dinner.
The ingredients are very basic and the whole thing does not require much time to make and is easy enough that everyone is able to make it.
