Make It For Me Now 
Can I add in some grated coconut?
Ohhh.. that does sound good. Yes, I think that would be best. Don’t use Baker’s Sweetened Coconut, though, use desiccated coconut (the dried, unsweetened stuff). I’d start with a quarter cup and see how you like it. Do let me know how it goes!
Yeah, I am thinking of using use desiccated coconut. I’ll let ya know the taste once I try it.
