Where to find ingredients
You can find desiccated coconut and caster sugar in the baking aisle of any local supermarket, such as Dunnes Stores, Tesco, or SuperValu. For the grated cheese, opt for a dry, salty Parmesan-style cheese found in the dairy or speciality deli section.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs, sugar, grated cheese, desiccated coconut, and butter into your blender jug.
- Blitz the ingredients on a medium-high setting until you have a completely smooth and homogeneous mixture.
- Grease a 20cm ring mould or bundt tin thoroughly with butter and dust the interior evenly with an extra layer of sugar.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased tin, ensuring it is level.
- Bake in a preheated oven using a water bath (bain-marie) for approximately 20 minutes, or until the custard is set.
