Number Of Ingredients 6

1 fresh young coconut, drained with meat removed and chopped
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
4 eggs, beaten
ΒΌ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir the coconut, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, sugar, and salt together in a bowl; pour into a round 3-quart baking dish. Set the baking dish into a large roasting pan.
