Excellent easy recipe for unexpected company on a hot summer day. From the picture I did expect the dessert to be a little creamier rather than firm. I would make it again but reduce the amount of coconut to 1/4 cup.

WAY too much coconut! If I were to make it again, I would only use 1/4 of the amount of coconut.

This was sooo good! Except I made the mistake of leaving it in the fridge for over 30 minutes (it was more like 2 hours) and so it was too hard to drink through a straw. But the taste was just great and it really was a hit at my non-alcoholic drink bar
