    I've got about 150g of dessicated coconut that's just gone out of date and needs using. Any ideas what it can be used for? :confused:
  • Hi, I have made Impossible pudding years ago, which has dessicated coconut in it, it used to go down very well with the family it is sooo easy, however i have lost my recipe. Do a google for it as i have just done, i am not good at doing links etc. It was the top one, recipezaar. Thank you for your post, it has reminded me to make the pudding again and i have found the recipe, so thank you, thank you, thank you.:A I think that you will like it, and its very cheap to make.
