Step By Step
The tropical beach vacation version of our classic crunch cake.
Toasted coconut is mixed into a crunchy, buttery granola bar streusel, then sandwiched around a creamy coconut-pineapple filling.I like your spontanaeity on this. Here’s how we’ll make it happen.
First, we’ll need a box of these crunchy granola bars. Totally the secret behind making a crunch cake.
When crushed, mixed with butter and sugar and toasted coconut, then pressed into a baking dish, you’ll pretty much want to eat this stuff straight out of the bowl.
(Note to you: I have made a batch of this crust JUST so I can eat it out of the bowl. Tell no one.)
Now whip all of the above together.
Spread it atop the bottom crust layer.
Then freeze until firm. It typically takes about 4 hours to get a proper chill on. Be patient. It’s so worth the wait.
All frozen now? Okay. Good. Grab a swimsuit. And sunglasses. And probably a Mai Tai, but we’ll sort out the details in just a sec.
You’ll also need a fork. this dessert is worth the indulgence! Let’s just eat and drink this toothsome treat for every meal ever,
