Remove the pot from the heat and immediately pour the custard mixture over the prepared tray of coconut. Spread it evenly across the tray.
Step 3: Cool and Chill
Let the custard layer cool to room temperature. Then, place the tray in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours to firm up.
Step 4: Prepare the Whipped Cream
In a bowl, combine 170 ml of cold milk with the whipped cream powder. Beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Alternatively, you can use 200 ml of pre-whipped cream.
Once the custard has set, spread the whipped cream evenly on top of the chilled custard.
Step 5: Roll and Garnish
After spreading the whipped cream, cut the dessert into 12 even parts.
Gently roll each section into a neat roll, wrapping the custard in the shredded coconut from the tray.
Roll each piece until it’s fully coated in coconut, and sprinkle crushed walnuts on top for garnish.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Your coconut rolls are now ready to enjoy! Serve them chilled and garnished with more walnuts or a topping of your choice.
