my favorite would have to be the tiramisu or the brownie!
try this recepi, from my own mom's favourite.
- get small coconut, remove the skin & cut edges to make it able to stand alone.
- get the coconut milk & the juice separate, to cook with jelly (make sure it's not too hard)
- leave the meat inside the coconut shell
- pour the coconut juice (already mixed with jelly powder) inside the shell.
- half done with juice, pour another layer of coconut milk (already mixed with jelly powder) on top of it.
- wait 'til it's ready. Keep on the fridge. Serve cold.
tips: u can insert more fruits inside while its on the process of jelly getting hard.
Have fun!
