Here’s another version that I love and often catch myself sneaking in the kitchen at night to eat another one. Or two. Or six. If you can’t find dessicated coconut, buy flaked coconut or coconut chips and shred them in a food processor or grate them on the smallest hole of a grater. Be sure you buy unsweetened coconut, or else this recipe will be much too sweet.
