Can't go wrong with condensed milk! I have had this recipe and love it.
Where do you find a can of cream of coconut?
Look in the Asian food section and you should find it no problem.
I've also found it in the mixed drink section. Some people use it to make pina coladas. 🙂
This sounds like a coconut Tres Leches! I am not a whipped cream person, though. Would this work with a buttercream frosting?
I think a 7 minute frosting would be better it would be hard to spread the buttercream on the cake because the surface is covered in the sweetened condensed milk. If you need a recipe for 7 min. frosting let me know, it's basically cooked sugared whipped at high speed that gives a meringue like quality.
Yummy! This cake is so delicious…I'm glad you posted this recipe! Thanks Suzanne!
