Greek Coconut Tart
This delicious coconut pudding is almost like a Malva Pudding. Both of them you bake, make the syrup and pour the syrup over the pudding just after it comes out of the oven. I must admit, I have made it a long time ago, but in the state my original recipe is, I vaguely remember at some point I have made it quite a lot. If you are a pudding lover, a coconut lover, or maybe both, this is just the recipe for you! I would recommend serving this pudding during winter time (almost like the Malva Pudding) and if you are a chef, this is the perfect dessert to add on your winter menu. You can make this for a Sunday lunch dessert or a dessert pudding after dinner. This delicious coconut pudding is best served with crème anglaise, home made vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream!
