I live in a very rural area and coconut milk was not available without driving an hour. No bueno. Opting to skip a two hour roundtrip for one ingredient, I used almond milk and it worked out fine. I toasted all of the coconut and that also turned out lovely. This is delicious as is. It doesn't need tweaked. \n*Also to the other reviewers... stop trying to add gross mandarin oranges to everything. It is called a PINA COLADA cake. That flavor palette is coconut and pineapple.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-04-10","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Sandy822"},"reviewBody":"
Made this for Easter with a couple changes and they loved it. I folded the drained crushed pineapple into the fluffy layer.

I thought this was a pretty good recipe and quite easy to make. Personally, I would like a bit more of a crunch to the graham cracker layers so next time maybe I will only dip one layer of the graham crackers.

The first time, I made it exactly as written. Everyone said it was delicious. The second time, I made some changes but retained the original flavors. Everyone preferred this tweaked version. Changes:\n- used a traditional graham cracker crust with no layers of graham crackers. Combined all ingredients into the cake filling instead of layers. \n- made it in a 11x14.5 inch pan and doubled the recipe, with the following exceptions:\n\u2014 instead of using two cups of coconut milk (the doubled amount), used what was in one can, about 1 3\/4 cups.\n\u2014 put 1 1\/2 cans of crushed pineapple in the cake filling and spread 1\/2 can on top. \n\u2014 added one large can drained mandarin oranges to the cake filling and spread one can on top. \n\u2014 used 3\/4 cups of untoasted coconut in the cake filling and 3\/4 cups of toasted coconut on top. \nThe whole family loved this version.

It just fit in my 9x13 pan with the lid on and was even better with the added layers. I tried it once without coconut for a friend who isn't a fan of coconut.

I then placed a small can of welled drained, patted dry mandarin oranges on top of pudding mixture, then sprinkled with 1 cup of shredded coconut. Repeated process for second layer.
