A family recipe usually saved for special occasions, this looks beautiful served in wine or martini glasses. It has a rich taste with a light texture. I recommend starting early on this, as the dessert needs time to set in the refrigerator. Great for when the oven is occupied with other dishes!

  4. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Toast the coconut on a baking sheet until golden, about 4 minutes, stirring once or twice. (You may use a toaster oven for this step). Transfer to a plate to cool, reserving about 1 tablespoon toasted coconut for garnishing.
