π A Little History
Coconut desserts have roots in many tropical cultures, from Thai coconut puddings to Caribbean coconut tarts. In mid-20th century America, coconut became a home-baking sensation. The Coconut Cream Dream Cake is a beautiful evolution β taking vintage coconut cake and giving it a creamy twist with sweetened milk and coconut cream. A modern-day comfort classic.
