I made this last night for guests and was quite sceptical about the outcome . . . . . it was gorgeous and so simple!

5 large eggs
175g/6 ozs caster sugar
Pinch of salt
450 ml/ 16 fl oz milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
50g/2ozs softened butter (it must be softened) or soft margarine
65g/2½ ozs plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
50g/2 ozs desiccated coconut



Method: Heat oven to 180c/160c fan oven/gas mark 4. Put all the ingredients in a food processor. Whiz until blended. (If you do not have a food processor then a blender will do). Pour into a pie dish or the equivalent, about 25cm across by about 5cm/2 inches deep. Bake for an hour. The ingredients will have settled into pastry at the bottom, custard filling and coconut at the top.

I actually baked it for an hour and a quarter - the coconut topping was toasted golden, and yes, it had separated into the three layers!!! I let it cool and then chilled it, and it was absolutely delicious.

I can agree with Jean cause I made it last week and it was absolutely delicious. Ken liked it so much he ate nearly all of it himself!!! Mind you he needs feeding up unlike me!!!

I remember walking down the high street with my dad when I was younger and he kept stopping to look at the St Bernard in the window and kept saying, ' look at the coconut dog'. Now I know what he meant.
