Tips:
- Use fresh coconut meat. Fresh coconut meat has a more delicate flavor and texture than dried or shredded coconut.
- Chill the coconut milk before using. This will help the fluff to set more quickly.
- Use a large bowl. The fluff will double in size as it sets, so you'll need a large bowl to accommodate it.
- Beat the coconut milk until stiff peaks form. This will help the fluff to be light and airy.
- Fold in the whipped cream and cherries gently. Overmixing will deflate the fluff.
- Chill the fluff for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help it to set completely.
