Notes

  • Standard US Size cups used
  • The recipe can be halved or doubled easily
  • One can only make the coconut mixture or only the chocolate coconut mixture.
  • Keep refrigerated and consume within 8-10 days.
  • It stays good for 15 days or more in the refrigerator, but best to consume soon due to the use of fresh cream and condensed milk.
  • I have used a big tray size as I was making a big batch. The tray size was for the base and the milk chocolate mix. 
  • If the tray is big, just layer it as much as you can and the thickness you require. It does not have much liquid so you should be fine setting it in.
