I made this tonight to bring to friends for dessert...and the crust was SO HARD! It tasted good, but VERY difficult to "chisel" into. haha
Anyone else have this happen? I was expecting the shell part to be almost sponge like. At the very least I was expecting it to be softer.
I toasted the coconut...maybe a little too much? But would that have really made a difference? It was a nice dark golden brown. It was about as dark as I usually toast coconut for other uses.
I did hold off 1 cup untoasted and mix it in. I baked for the 10 minute minimum.
I used store brand coconut and I am wondering if that might be the difference. I know sometimes store brands make a difference, but not sure if coconut is one of those items...
Opinions??? THANKS!
