Thanks for posting this, Danny.
Although I have a Yankee's wariness of very sweet desserts, I love coconut and tried this one for a family party. Everyone loved it! I served it with chocolate syrup and it tasted like a very good Mounds candy bar, only not quite so sweet.
With a few toasted almonds, it would be like an Almond Joy (my favorite). :yes:
Danny, if you use figs, what is the filling recipe? You must thicken them somewhat?
