    In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is light and creamy. Add in the coconut milk and pandan paste, then mix until fully incorporated.

    Stir in the grated coconut and vanilla essence, ensuring an even distribution of coconut throughout the batter for enhanced texture and flavor.

  • Step 4: Pour into the Baking Tin
    Transfer the batter into a greased and lined baking tin. For an extra touch, sprinkle a generous amount of grated coconut on top to create a delightful crunch.
