15-Minute Creamy Coconut Dessert

A rich, velvety no-bake dessert that is perfect for last-minute entertaining.

  • Prep time: 15 minutes

  • Chilling time: 2–4 hours (for best texture)

  • Yields: 6–8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (very cold)

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened), plus extra for garnish

  • 1 packet (12g) unflavored gelatin powder

  • 5 tbsp cold water (to hydrate the gelatin)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Detailed Directions

  1. Hydrate the Gelatin: In a small microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the 5 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes thick and spongy.

  2. Melt the Gelatin: Microwave the hydrated gelatin for 15–20 seconds until it is completely liquid. Be careful not to let it boil. Stir well and set aside to cool slightly.

  3. Blend the Base: In a blender or a large mixing bowl with a whisk, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract.

  4. Incorporate the Cream: Add the heavy whipping cream to the mixture. If using a blender, blend on low for 30 seconds. If using a bowl, whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.

  5. Add Coconut and Gelatin: Stir in the 1 cup of shredded coconut. While the blender is on its lowest setting (or while whisking), slowly pour in the liquid gelatin. This ensures the gelatin is evenly distributed so the dessert sets smoothly without lumps.

  6. Transfer: Pour the creamy mixture into a glass baking dish (approx. 7×11 inches) or individual ramekins.

  7. Garnish: Generously sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded coconut.

  8. Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (4 hours is ideal) until the dessert is firm and set.

  9. Serve: Scoop or slice into squares and serve chilled.

Important Note on Health Claims

Several images in your collection feature viral advertisements claiming that certain drinks can “kill cancer cells,” “recover 100% of vision,” or “cure depression.”

It is important to remember that while ingredients like garlic, lime, ginger, and green apples are highly nutritious and support a healthy lifestyle, there is no scientific evidence that these mixtures can replace medical treatments or “cure” clinical conditions such as cancer, cataracts, or mental health disorders. Always consult a medical professional for serious health concerns.
