This recipe worked very well. I found it like a jello or jelly as we Aussie's call it. It certainly presented very well. After it had chilled I was a little concerned that it was going to look like a blob of homemade glue on the plate. I decided to toast some shredded coconut and tossed the squares into that before putting on a platter. The coconut taste was as strong as I had first imagined either but was enjoyable just the same.
