This is a pretty forgiving recipe. It was the first dessert I ever baked on my own when I was about 11 years old! I’ve used coconut oil instead of butter, different flours and this time you will see the mixture is all lumpy in the bottom image as I didn’t melt the butter – it was soft at room temp so I just threw it in and stirred and it melted in the air fryer and turned out just fine. You can see where I tasted this one before I took the pic (and I may have accidentally cooked it at 180 before I realized and dropped it to 160. It’s a little dark on top but still tastes amazing!)   Have fun, let the kids have a go … and enjoy! It’s easy to make and soooo tasty. You’re welcome 🙂

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk or milk replacement (coconut, rice etc)
  • 1 cup sugar or sugar substitue (I use Sukrin Gold)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup gluten free flour or your preferred flour substitute (I use arrowroot starch/tapioca flour)
Please note, if you have a thermomix (or other mixer) throw it all in and blend it up – that’s what I do!

  • Add milk, sugar, butter, vanilla and stir well.
