2 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
1 can condensed milk
1 large freshly grated coconut
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
1 can condensed milk

Where to find ingredients
Fresh coconuts and high-quality dairy products can be sourced from local grocery markets or neighborhood produce stalls. If fresh coconut is unavailable, high-quality desiccated coconut is an acceptable substitute, though fresh is preferred for the best texture.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs, butter, milk, condensed milk, and grated coconut into a blender.
- Process all the ingredients until the mixture reaches a smooth and uniform consistency.
- Pour the coconut batter into a greased baking dish or oven-safe pan.
- Place the dish in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F).
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center has set.
