Step by step easy shredded coconut delight dessert recipe with pineapples and photo of each step.

This is a convenient easy dessert. I have made it with freshly shredded coconut as well as desiccated coconut. Both taste yummy.

Ok, I got this recipe from my friend who often makes it on short notice. This is super quick, if using desiccated coconut. My friend would not add gelatin in this recipe and let it be a little runny while the taste remains same. So, the original recipe is quick and doesn't call for gelatin. I feel a dessert should set well. So, I have added gelatin, you may skip it if you're in hurry and don't like gelatin.

You can learn more about how to use Gelatin here.

My kids didn't like this dessert much as they don't like coconut so don't make it for someone who is not a fan of coconut.But you can read more about benefits of coconut here.
