Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Evenly spread the shredded coconut onto a half-sheet pan, ensuring it’s in a single layer for even toasting.
  3. Place the pan in the oven and bake for approximately 6 minutes, or until the coconut turns a golden-brown color. Stir the coconut halfway through to prevent uneven browning.
  4. Once toasted, remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared tapioca pudding and Ube (purple yam).
  6. Stir well until the Ube is evenly incorporated, creating a smooth and uniform mixture.
  7. Pipe into a jar or serving dish and top with the cheesecake delight and toasted coconut
