I usually don't like the flavor of coconut in desserts, but for some reason, this dessert was calling my name the other night. I did have to go out and buy coconut extract and shredded coconut, which are two ingredients I'm not sure I will use very often in the future. I was worried I had wasted my money on one dessert.
This dessert turned out pretty good, though. I made two of them so my husband, who is a fan of coconut, could give me his input, too. He said it was pretty good as well, so I will take that to mean this is a successful recipe. It had the perfect amount of coconut flavor in it without being too overwhelming. I liked the crushed up graham crackers, which did a good job as a make-shift crust. I also liked how simple this was to make. It really only took a minute to whip together - no cooking, blending, or anything. Just mix in the coconut extract to the pudding, add the other ingredients on top, and there you have it. A yummy dessert!
However, I'm still not sure it was worth investing the money in the coconut extract and the shredded coconut. Now I am going to have to search for more recipes that use these two ingredients so I won't feel as though I wasted my money! More to come...
