Can I know what id the coconut use here? Is it grated coconut?


Hey Dugger...nothing like the one I had of Grandmother's. Her's had sour cream. . I can work with this one though. I will at a later date post the one I'll work out.
wokkingmum7...let her know it's flaked coconut.
And yes I owe you my zucchini casserole recipe now. You'll get it I promise. Life is fast rolling right now.


Thank Doug and helewes for the reply! I can try this cos I can get all the ingredients here (in Singapore) :)


Elaine,

You are a wonder.. that is a good thing. The fact that you would even try Amercan cooking is wonderful. Sorry about the Singapore Wings. No insult intended. Just was the recipe name I received.


Doug,
This is one of my favorite recipes to take to a gathering. I'd always had it with sour cream but when I started making myself I used yogurt. Coconut is a good one with this but other flavors or plain will do.

Yes, we have always made it with sour cream, but I bet it's good with the whipped cream.


This is the closest recipe I have found to what I am looking for, a local family buffet restaurant serves a wonderful Ambrosia...thanks for posting!

I have made this using "a little" sour cream instead of "a little" whipped cream. I have also added drained and chopped maraschino cherries.
