Here are my recommendations: Don't add the evaporated milk. It's not needed. I also used heavy coconut, but did not stir the coconut and only added the cream that floated to the top for the filling. This resulted in a thicker filling that didn't need as long to set. When I make this the next time, I will make the cake from scratch to increase the depth of the cake layers. The cake mix made layers that seemed too small. Otherwise, this was a wonderful cake and I got rave reviews.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-02-06","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"MomsCorner"},"reviewBody":"Taste is great and well worth making again, but will make as a poke cake in a 9x13 pan.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2012-01-02","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"sreagin"},"reviewBody":"I made this for my hubby for his birthday on Christmas eve.

I made it for my mom who loves coconut. She loved it but so did my husband. In fact, he has raved about it to so many friends that I have too many requests to handle right now! To the person who was worried about a cake mix not making 3 layers: When you make a layer cake, the recipe often calls for splitting the two layers so by pouring the batter into 3 pans, you just end up with 3 fairly thin layers. It was perfect size for this cake! I had regular coconut milk (the kind used for Thai recipes) on hand so that is what I used. It was 13.5 oz and I used 3\/4 cup for the cake and the leftover for the filling. I had no problem with the filling. I melted the cream cheese first in the pan and then slowly added the evaporated milk. Then I added the rest of the coconut milk and heavy cream. I just cooked and stirred over medium heat for awhile until it thickened, probably 10 minutes all told. Then I added the chips which thickened it further. My filling actually ended up too thick so next time I won't cook it so long. I used unsweetened coconut flakes which was perfect as the cake is sweet enough on its own. As you can tell from my opening remarks, I'll be making this cake for lots of friends!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-03-03","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"batemanj"},"reviewBody":"Didn't use the evaporated milk(due to others reviews) but wondering if the small can of evaporated milk(not the bigger can) would make a difference with people who complained of too runny filling.

To begin, the recipe tells you to divide the five ounces of evaporated milk, however it also tells you to put all of it into the filling. It also does not tell you how long you are supposed to let the filling sit in the fridge.

My solution was to omit the evaporated milk which fixes the problem (and reduces the cost of the cake). I allow the filling to bubble for a few minutes, then I transfer it to a metal bowl seated inside of a larger bowl filled with ice. I stir it every few minutes until it reaches the desired consistency. This has become one of my signature cakes. Delicious!**UPDATED REVIEWI think that I may have figured out part of the issue with the filling. My local grocery store stopped carrying the brand of cream of coconut that I had been using and I ended up buying a new brand which was not as thick. My filling did not set, no matter what I did to it. I think the bulk of the issue is that the evaporated milk is unnecessary, but the other variable here is the brand and consistency of the cream of coconut. I had the best success with Goya cream of coconut. Now if only I could find it again...","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-07-03","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"MelissaGarabedian"},"reviewBody":"This is one of the most impressive looking, and best tasting, cakes I have ever made. I used two boxes of cake mix because I felt the layers were too thin. I had a little trouble with the filling being too runny so I cut back on the liquid and doubled the white chocolate and cream cheese. Cooking it a little longer did help it thicken up as well. You almost have to experiment to see what works best for you. I did end up doubling the icing recipe just because I needed more coverage and I like it thick. Every time I make it, it\u2019s a hit!!!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2015-03-18","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Shar55"},"reviewBody":"I haven't attempted this cake yet but coconut is my favorite cake. I did read all the reviews and couldn't believe how many made it only to fail. If you think about it the chips will set up and the cream cheese will set up as it chills. That should be enough to thicken it as it cools down so I will add another 1\/4 cup of chips to thicken it up if it doesn't do what its suppose to. You want a frosting consistency so you don't want to make it to thick..... cannot wait to make it myself. As for the outside, I will buy a big container of cool whip and finish it off with that! I have so many cake recipes that call for Cool Whip............ don't know why it wouldn't work for this cake and I have a coconut cake recipe that calls for yellow cake mix....don't know why it wouldn't work for this instead of white, yellow has much more flavor.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-08-08","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"lkhauser"},"reviewBody":"I made this cake for a birthday.

Didn't use the evaporated milk(due to others reviews) but wondering if the small can of evaporated milk(not the bigger can) would make a difference with people who complained of too runny filling.

I've made this cake twice during the Christmas holidays, but read the reviews first. Here are my recommendations: Don't add the evaporated milk. It's not needed. I also used heavy coconut, but did not stir the coconut and only added the cream that floated to the top for the filling. This resulted in a thicker filling that didn't need as long to set. When I make this the next time, I will make the cake from scratch to increase the depth of the cake layers. The cake mix made layers that seemed too small. Otherwise, this was a wonderful cake and I got rave reviews.<\/p>","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"01\/10\/2018 01:48","GUID":"12bc4cb9846e4ac18fb7ac6ba20fbb9f","MemberId":9399501,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Rebecca","SubmittedDate":"01\/10\/2018 01:48"},{"Comment":"
This recipe is amazing, but I also had some difficulty with the filling the first time I made it. My solution was to omit the evaporated milk which fixes the problem (and reduces the cost of the cake). I allow the filling to bubble for a few minutes, then I transfer it to a metal bowl seated inside of a larger bowl filled with ice. I stir it every few minutes until it reaches the desired consistency. This has become one of my signature cakes. Delicious!<\/p>
**UPDATED REVIEW<\/p>
I think that I may have figured out part of the issue with the filling. My local grocery store stopped carrying the brand of cream of coconut that I had been using and I ended up buying a new brand which was not as thick. My filling did not set, no matter what I did to it. I think the bulk of the issue is that the evaporated milk is unnecessary, but the other variable here is the brand and consistency of the cream of coconut. I had the best success with Goya cream of coconut. Now if only I could find it again...<\/p>","CommentId":4,"DateRated":"08\/14\/2015 11:59","GUID":"8fc2deaf4a044807ab5eea4b8978e832","MemberId":5891468,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"mrichards1993","SubmittedDate":"08\/06\/2015 14:57"},{"Comment":"
I haven't attempted this cake yet but coconut is my favorite cake. I did read all the reviews and couldn't believe how many made it only to fail. If you think about it the chips will set up and the cream cheese will set up as it chills. That should be enough to thicken it as it cools down so I will add another 1\/4 cup of chips to thicken it up if it doesn't do what its suppose to. You want a frosting consistency so you don't want to make it to thick..... cannot wait to make it myself. As for the outside, I will buy a big container of cool whip and finish it off with that! I have so many cake recipes that call for Cool Whip............ don't know why it wouldn't work for this cake and I have a coconut cake recipe that calls for yellow cake mix....don't know why it wouldn't work for this instead of white, yellow has much more flavor.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"03\/18\/2015 16:38","GUID":"7345f575118d447b9bce6bdd1139a5c2","MemberId":7182124,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Shar55","SubmittedDate":"03\/18\/2015 16:38"},{"Comment":"
I found a lot of difficulty making this cake. To begin, the recipe tells you to divide the five ounces of evaporated milk, however it also tells you to put all of it into the filling. It also does not tell you how long you are supposed to let the filling sit in the fridge. This recipe is extremely flawed and needs to be edited with correct instructions.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"03\/15\/2015 17:02","GUID":"9f69014b82364f77a2ca6d8e4a693ddd","MemberId":8293406,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"dreamingfordragons","SubmittedDate":"03\/15\/2015 17:02"},{"Comment":"

This is a very expensive cake but it is worth it. I would make a few changes though. I will not put the whipped cream on the next one I make. I will use 7 minute icing.

This recipe turned out perfect for me. I made it for my mom who loves coconut. She loved it but so did my husband. In fact, he has raved about it to so many friends that I have too many requests to handle right now! To the person who was worried about a cake mix not making 3 layers: When you make a layer cake, the recipe often calls for splitting the two layers so by pouring the batter into 3 pans, you just end up with 3 fairly thin layers. It was perfect size for this cake! I had regular coconut milk (the kind used for Thai recipes) on hand so that is what I used. It was 13.5 oz and I used 3\/4 cup for the cake and the leftover for the filling. I had no problem with the filling. I melted the cream cheese first in the pan and then slowly added the evaporated milk. Then I added the rest of the coconut milk and heavy cream. I just cooked and stirred over medium heat for awhile until it thickened, probably 10 minutes all told. Then I added the chips which thickened it further. My filling actually ended up too thick so next time I won't cook it so long. I used unsweetened coconut flakes which was perfect as the cake is sweet enough on its own. As you can tell from my opening remarks, I'll be making this cake for lots of friends!<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"12\/31\/2011 13:32","GUID":"1265b8d39e8f44cf9d44f2128f533c2e","MemberId":6345831,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"lbj61","SubmittedDate":"12\/31\/2011 13:32"},{"Comment":"
