📜 A SHORT HISTORY

Coconut desserts have been cherished in tropical regions for centuries, particularly in Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and South America. Coconut cream and shredded coconut became popular in Western desserts in the 19th century, leading to pies, cakes, and custard-based treats.

No-bake cakes rose in popularity during the mid-20th century as convenience baking became a trend—combining pantry staples like condensed milk, cream, and graham crackers or cookies.

This cake represents a bridge between tropical flavor traditions and modern no-fuss baking—perfect for summer gatherings, family dinners, or anytime you need a sweet, creamy treat.

📝 INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup melted butter

  3. Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes while preparing the filling.

STEP 2 — Make the Coconut Cream Filling

  1. In a bowl, mix condensed milk, coconut milk, and vanilla until smooth.

  3. Fold in shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.

STEP 3 — Assemble the Cake

💡 METHOD SECRETS
