Hi, I’m Mamona Adnan — a home baker, food blogger, and a full-time coconut addict (yes, proudly! 😄).
You know, every time I make this coconut dessert, I remember something funny. Recently in the UK, everyone is obsessed with coconut milk drinks — literally every café is like: “Would you like coconut, oat, soy, almond, cashew, or air?” And I’m standing there thinking,
“Baji, just give me normal milk… I only do coconut in desserts!” 🤣

But being a Pakistani, we always find the smart way — instead of buying expensive tiny coconut drinks, we make big trays of creamy coconut desserts at home. Because why not? We like quantity AND flavour — full mazay se!

And trust me, this recipe tastes like something that went viral on TikTok before it even got posted.
Soft, moist, creamy, and every bite is like a tropical mini-vacation.

Now let’s make this beauty together! 💛
