Notes
Toasted coconut instructions:
In a sheet pan spread the coconut out in a very thin even layer. Some will overlap you can't help that. On a low heat such as 250-300 F, 250 I would say would be better toast the coconut. About every 10 to 15 minutes give the coconut a stir around in the pan until you start to see browning. Now browning is very important because once it browns it will burn quickly. Once you see browning check every 3-5 minutes until you have your desired golden look.Number of total servings shown is approximate.
