      Now to serve place a small slice of cake in a pretty stem crystal glass , pour the custard around the cake,then add fresh grated nutmeg on top.  I usually serve this desert around Christmas time and since this cake is so rich small servings are better. When making my cake I use a canned lite coconut milk + fresh coconut water from a fresh coconut. For the icing I also use the coconut water. So it takes only one large coconut for both cake and icing. For flavorings I use half  measuring of clear white vanilla and half almond flavoring but never imitation flavorings.

Note : For finding the right coconut look for a coconut that is heavy in liquid. I usually take two coconuts and see the difference in weight til I find the heaviest and shake the coconut to see if there is a lot of liquid in the coconut. After a while this trick is the best in figuring out which coconut to purchase.

                     Sometimes I add a good coconut rum to the cake before adding the icing,or more coconut water. For children I do not add the rum, I just make a smaller cake with no rum added.
