Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Base
Spread shredded coconut evenly on a large tray. This will coat the rolls later, adding a delicious crunch.
Step 2: Make the Custard
In a large pot, whisk together milk, sugar, and flour until smooth.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Once thickened, add butter and vanilla, stirring until creamy.
Pour the custard over the coconut-lined tray and spread evenly.
Step 3: Chill the Custard
Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or until firm).
Step 4: Whip the Cream
Mix cold milk with whipped cream powder until fluffy.
Alternatively, whip fresh cream until stiff peaks form.
Spread evenly over the chilled custard layer.
Step 5: Roll & Garnish
Cut the dessert into 12 even pieces.
Roll each piece into a cylinder, coating it with the shredded coconut from the tray.
Sprinkle crushed walnuts on top for extra crunch.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!
Serve chilled. For extra indulgence, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce.
