I found a fantastic baked dessert which we tried out the other night. It's called blueberry pie, but with the coconut in it, the crust actually comes up like a sweet juicy macaroon, with the custardy bit underneath...YUM! So I'm going to call it macaroon pudding.
1/3 cup plain flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup dessicated coconut
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
90g butter, melted
2 tsps vanilla essence
1/2 cup fresh/frozen blueberries
Icing sugar, to decorate
Place flour sugar coconut in large bowl, make a well.
Beat eggs, milk, butter and vanilla together.
Add egg mixture to flour mixture, beat until well combined. (It's very sloppy & I wondered if they printed out the quantities right, but it worked)
Pour into a greased 23 cm pie dish, sprinkle berries over the top.
Bake at 180 degrees for about 45 min or until it is golden and set.
Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
I used blackberries which was nice, but I reckon you could use pretty much any fruit - rhubarb, canned cherries, plums, etc. It was *very* sweet so you could add less sugar and still get a nice result, IMO.
