I was torn between 3 and 4 stars. The flavor was good, but the texture was weird. The coconut and milk on the bottom became a gooey mess, while the cresents and the top set up nicely. I was not able to get the bottom layer out of the pan attached to the cresent. I was going to give these as a thank you gift to my neighbors, but instead I think I will make a coconut, key lime, blueberry trifle with these. If I try these again, I will put everything on top of the cresent.
