COCONUT-ALMOND FILLING

By Nana_CAM

This filling acts as a glue to hold the layers together. It works best when chilled, so don't skip that step.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 1 tsp. almond extract
• 1 1/4 cups whipping cream
• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2 1/4 cups loosely packed sweetened flaked coconut
• 1/4 cup sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

1. Stir together cornstarch, almond extract, and 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl.

2. Bring whipping cream, brown sugar, and butter to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, and immediately whisk in cornstarch mixture. Stir in coconut and sour cream. Cover and chill 8 hours.
