This is delicious! The only change I made was to use regular coconut, not frozen. I put some drained, crushed pineapple on top to give it a tropical flair. This one is a keeper...thanks!

<p><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /> <br /><br />I am a mom of 3 grown daughters and 4 year <br />old twin boys. I work full time and my <br />favorite hobby is cooking and baking. Some might think I had lost my mind by having another child when my daughters were as old as they were ( 21, 15, 13 from a previous marriage ) but my childless husband decided that it was about time for him to have a child. Anyhow, we ended up with twins, which turned out great because now they each have someone their own age to be with, since their sisters are so much older. They adore the boys! <br />I get off of work every day at 3pm, so that gives me plenty of time to come home and prepare a home cooked meal just about every night. We don't eat out much. Its such a waste of money and not very healthy. <br />I also love to garden. I enjoy having an abundance of vegetables and then trying to find recipes to use them up. <br />I am famous with my co-workers for trying new dessert recipes and sharing it the next day at work. <br />I used to have several recipe sites on my favorites but I would always come to zaar first and now I don't even go to any of the others. I love this site! <br />I will only give out 4 or 5 star ratings to the recipes that we loved and will definitely make again. I don't like to give a low rating. Just because we didn't find the recipe good, I don't want to influence others because they might like it. Happy cooking!</p>
