Ingredients:
For the Custard Layer:
1 liter (4 cups) milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup + 1 tbsp flour
60 g (4 tbsp) butter
1 tsp vanilla
For the Topping and Assembly:
1.5–2 cups shredded coconut (to coat the tray)
170 ml (⅔ cup) cold milk
1 sachet whipped cream powder (or 200 ml whipped cream)
Crushed walnuts (for garnish)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Layer
Spread 1.5–2 cups of shredded coconut evenly across a large tray.
Ensure it’s spread evenly to coat the rolls later. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Custard
In a large pot, whisk together the milk, sugar, and flour until smooth.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to boil.
Add butter and vanilla, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Immediately pour the custard over the shredded coconut tray and spread evenly.
Step 3: Cool and Chill
Let the custard cool to room temperature.
Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until the custard sets.
Step 4: Prepare the Whipped Cream
In a bowl, combine cold milk and whipped cream powder. Beat until light and fluffy.
Alternatively, whip 200 ml of cream until stiff peaks form.
Spread whipped cream evenly over the custard layer.
Step 5: Roll and Garnish
Cut the dessert into 12 even sections.
Carefully roll each section into a cylinder, ensuring the shredded coconut coats the outside.
Sprinkle crushed walnuts on top for garnish.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Chill for an extra 30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
