Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 and spread the coconut flakes out evenly onto a baking sheet and place it on the top rack of the oven for 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut.

Step 9

Pour the mixture over cake and using the back of a spoon, spread it into the holes.

Step 10

iI will look like a lot but trust the process, it will absorb into the cake.

Step 11

You can also push the edges of the cake away from the baking dish to let some of the mixture drip onto the sides.

Step 12

Spread the crushed pineapple evenly onto the top.
Step 13: Sprinkle half the toasted coconut evenly on top.
Step 14: Dollop the cool whip on top and carefully spread it out with the back of a spoon.
