Description

Tennis biscuit coconut icebox cake is a no-bake, refreshing dessert layering crispy tennis biscuits with a creamy coconut filling. Perfect for warm days and easy to prepare, this tropical treat offers a light sweetness and rich coconut aroma, making it an ideal choice for summer parties, family dinners, or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g Tennis Biscuits (layered buttery biscuits)
  • 1 cup Coconut Cream
  • 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream
  • 1/2 cup Grated Coconut (fresh or desiccated)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coconut Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the whipped cream and grated coconut until smooth and evenly mixed. This luscious filling will be the key to that rich, creamy texture.
  2. Layer the Tennis Biscuits: Line the bottom of your chosen dish with a layer of tennis biscuits. Arrange them closely to create a solid base; these biscuits will soften as they absorb moisture from the filling but retain a slight crunch.
  3. Add Coconut Filling: Spoon a generous amount of the coconut cream mixture over the biscuits, spreading it evenly to cover all the pieces. This layering process is what builds the flavors, so don’t be shy with the filling!
  4. Repeat Layers: Continue alternating layers of tennis biscuits and coconut filling until you use all ingredients or reach the top of your dish, finishing with a thick layer of coconut cream on top.
  5. Chill Overnight: Cover your cake with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. This chilling time allows the biscuits to soften perfectly and the flavors to meld into harmony.

Notes

  • Use fresh grated coconut for best flavor and texture.
  • Do not skip chilling as it helps soften the biscuits and meld flavors.
  • Ensure uniform layers to balance biscuit and creamy filling in every bite.
  • Cover the cake properly to prevent it from absorbing fridge odors and to keep it moist.
  • Choose high-quality tennis biscuits for better texture retention during soaking.
