i love shredded coconut in cakes!

You could also try putting it in a Korma? I think that may be quite nice, though i've never tried it!

Coco-Nut Caramel Chews
5 ounces soft caramel candies, 24 pieces, unwrapped
1/2 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1/4 cup white chocolate chip morsels, 2 handfuls
1 1/4 cups sweetened coconut flakes
Vegetable cooking spray
Line a 8 by 8-inch square microwave safe dish with plastic wrap allowing the
wrap to come over the sides. Spray the prepared dish with cooking spray.
Spray a medium size, microwave safe bowl with cooking spray. To the prepared bowl, add the caramel candies, peanuts, white chocolate and 1/2 cup of the coconut. Give it a stir to combine. set the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds on HIGH. Place the bowl in the microwave and cook 1 minute. Stop the microwave, stir the mixture, return to microwave to cook 30 seconds longer. Remove the mixture and stir. Scrape it into the prepared square pan. Flatten the mixture with a rubber spatula evenly. Cover the top of the candy with remaining coconut, using the rubber spatula to press it in slightly. If the mixture is too firm on top for the coconut to stick, place the mixture back in the microwave for 10 seconds, then resume pressing the coconut into the candy.
Allow the candies to cool completely. Remove the entire block, using the plastic wrap to help you pull it out. Using a sharp knife, cut candy into small, 1-inch squares.

Are you sure it's shredded and not desiccated? Either way, I make a big bowl of reasonably thick custard and mix in the coconut until it's stiff, mmmmmmmmmmm. OR make some little fairy cakes with almond essence in them, white icing on the top and press into the coconut. Have fun :>) Desicated coconut may also be added to your chicken curry.
Here's a simple recipe called chocolate mounds:
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
1 bag of semi-sweet morsels or 1 bag of white chocolate chips
1.) toast the coconut flakes and nuts for about 2-3 min. at 200 degrees
2.) While that's toasting melt the chocolates in a bowl, and once melted let cool for 10 min.
3.) After cooling, place toasted nuts and coconut flakes in the melted chocolate and mix
4.) Then shape them into mounds and place in the fridge
5.) Once cool enjoy eating them!
This was all from memory so I don't know if the measurements are correct, but the measurements really don't make a difference. Just add the amount of ingredients according to what you prefer. (White chocolate is much sweeter than the semi-sweet, so if you have a really sweet tooth use the white chocolate.)
COCONUT CAKE DELUXE

2 eggs

GOLDEN BUTTER FROSTING:
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, softened
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp. buttermilk or milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 c. sifted confectioners' sugar
Coconut (for top and sides of frosted cake)
Place first 5 ingredients in small mixing bowl in order listed. Blend together with electric mixer, beating at medium speed for 3 minutes. If frosting is too soft, beat in a little extra sifted confectioners' sugar to obtain desired spreading consistency.
Spread frosting on cooled cake, then sprinkle frosted cake with coconut. Frosts tops and sides of two 8 or 9-inch layers, or top of a 9x13 inch cake.
********I would skip the flavoring, but you can do whatever floats your boat :)
