  • Yum....this does sound nice. I love treats with berries added and this will be interesting with the coconut.

  • There's nothing like a yummy pud on a cool wintry night. We'll certainly be giving this one a go.

    Chris Watson

  • Have friends coming for a meal...know what my desert will be.

    Maureen Whiting

  • I can't wait to make this, love anything with coconut in and even better when berries are added. Sounds divine.

    Heather

  • Sounds delish! Can't wait to try it. Have to invent a special occasion just to do this.

    Carlma Skinner

  • This is very similar to one I make without the fruit on top and using Fruit Mince instead of jam. So will be yummy!

  • I made this recipe tonight and it was very nice!!! I wasn't sure what I would think of the coconut but it tasted great in the dish. I added some zest of a lemon because I like the taste with blueberries and berries. This was quick to make and the family enjoyed it so I will be making it again!!!

  • thanks so much, now I have a great recipe to use all my frozen blueberries. they did so well this year as we covered them up with frost cloth and the birds can't get them.

  • This sounds tasty, however, I'll leave out the nasty coconut, so everyone can enjoy it.
