There’s a quote by Audrey Hepburn that I love. She once said, “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says: I’m possible!” There are some days I whole-heartedly agree with Audrey, and there are others that I disagree. It just depends how much positivity I’ve got oozing from my pores.
I do like a challenge though, so if someone or something tells me it’s impossible, then I’m out to prove them wrong. When I saw this Donna Hay recipe I knew I had to try it, if only for the name. It turns out it wasn’t impossible at all… but actually easy and impossibly delicious. A little research revealed that it’s not called ‘impossible’ because of it’s difficulty factor, but more because it turns itself into a yummy, crusty dessert.
Thankfully this is one of those desserts you don’t have to run out and buy a hundred different ingredients to make. I had everything right at home.
Ingredients
1 cup dessicated coconut
1/2 cup plain flour
1 1/4 cups caster sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind
4 eggs
Juice of 1 lemon {1/3 cup if you want to measure}
1 1/2 cups milk
40g butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
♥ Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius
♥ Place coconut, flour, lemon rind and sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs, lemon juice, milk, butter and vanilla and stir until well-combined.
♥ Pour the mix into a lightly greased 4-cup capacity baking dish and bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden. Serve with cream.
Do you like a bit of a challenge? Or do you prefer to avoid the some-what difficult?
