Chelsea - I made this tonight for dessert and we all thought it was very nice (great for us sweet tooths). I had some difficulty figuring out when it was cooked (how set it was supposed to be), but after 1 hour at 160o fan forced however it was slightly browned and the top was set all over. The top was like a very sweet coconut lemon cake and underneath was gooey and soft (yummy). A lovely family dessert - thanks Trudy!
Trudy - Glad you liked it. I usually cook mine 180C for around 40 mins and that seems to work out fine.
Narelle - I made this tonight and it was nice. A bit too much coconut for my liking (consistency not taste). Certainly easy to make. Easy to add to the waist line too!
maddy - Thanks Trudy, we enjoyed this tonight.
WAThermoFamily - Trudy - thank you that was delish!!! I forgot to put timer on so I think it was slightly in oven a bit too long as it was firm but tasted delish.
Nay-nay - it was yummo!! This really does need the vanilla ice cream with it to balance the tang.
CC - My SIL adored it and asked me to whip the serving dish away after he had two big helpings, he said he couldn't be trusted not to eat it all to himself. Thanks Trudy for a great recipe.
monkeyboyzmum - we had this tonight - it was FABULOUS!!
KarenH - OMG this is just gorgeous! Reminds me of a lemon delicious pudding that my Mum makes - which is a whole lot of fiddle-faddle and ends up with heaps of dishes to wash - so I rarely bother making it. But this one is SOOO quick and easy and very delicious! A winner of a recipe - thanks!
DH made this again for dinner last night - but he made the batter several hours in advance and just left it sitting in the fridge, and baked it when we were ready for it. It worked just great - so even easier to make-ahead for a dinner party. Also, by letting it sit for a while, the desiccated coconut kind of floated to the top a bit, and resulted in a really yummy coconutty crust. Almost better than the original!
Ceejay - My middle two loved this one this week... only comment was from my 5 year old who says he wants more lemon! All the intolerances and allergies we have in our family means a limited diet for them... when they find something they enjoy, they make sure to let me know!
Hally - We had this last night - it went in one sitting, YUM!
VHJ - What an easy and tasty dessert this is. I don't think I cooked it quite long enough as it seemed a tad raw but was still yum.
maddy - Let it sit for at least 15 minutes Jan. It will thicken up, and makes a gooey sauce
Rogizoja - Did this last night (reduced the sugar a tad) and it went down a storm. Now added to my favourites list.
jkmt - We had this for dessert tonight. I made it with soy milk as my husband prefers non-dairy (although I did use melted butter, but I guess I could easily have swapped for oil!). It was very nice, and my 10yo son would have happily polished off the lot if he'd been allowed. I think next time I will reduce the sugar a little bit.
Denzelmum - Made this last night, yum.... The whole family enjoyed it. I was in the middle of baking , 15 minutes to go then emergency have to go out. Decided to switch the oven off and when returned baked it for another 15 min. Turn out just fine. Lovely warm and cold.
Amanda - Trudy - made this for some friends last night at Karen's suggestion - it is absolutely fantastic! My friend took the recipe home to adapt it to her food processor and I will certainly be making it again - thanks!
JD - This morning I realised I hadn't made this one either so I too have made it now. Made mainly for my Mum who loves anything lemon but it was far too big for one little lady so DH and I have just had a slice with cream after lunch and it is delicious Trudy.
Emme - Made this today, cut sugar back to 1 cup and used limes.
Everyone loved it, served it with some vanilla and raspberry ice-cream, would certainly make again.
Amy - I cooked it for exactly 40 minutes and it was still a little wobbly. I thought it would set while everyone ate the main course, but even when I came back to it, it was still very wobbly. When I put the serving spoon in it, the top broke and all this liquid mixture came up. Since everyone was ready for dessert, I just scooped the cooked bits from around the top and outside. I very discreetly slid the dish back into the oven to try and set the remaining mixture. I served it with vanilla custard and everyone loved it, especially our guest.
DJ - Made this today but overcooked it.... Still pale on top but somewhat solid all the way through. Eaten up just the same. Thanks for recipe.
Kimmyh - Reduced sugar to 1 cup. Was lovely and enjoyed by all. Thank you for a quick and easy dessert.
Wonder - I have made this a few times now and it really is "impossible pie" for me - I've overcooked it, undercooked it and even left out some ingredients, it's always been eaten though so obviously not too bad!
-
mmmmm this might be what i make to take for morning tea this friday!
-
So easy and so yummy - good stuff ;D ;D ;D

Sorry Chelsea, not sure what the f/f is? ???
-
Fan-forced?
I'm going to try this one, thanks!

Had me stumped too Thermomixer. Thanks mama_bel

Sorry. ;D

Hi Chelsea,
Glad you liked it. I usually cook mine 180C for around 40 mins and that seems to work out fine.

-
Is your oven fan forced Trudy?? :)
-
Hi Chelsea,
I have a double oven, one of which is fan forced. Must say I prefer to cook not on fan forced, especially for baking. One of my daughters makes this and her oven is fan forced. Her's just seems to cook slightly quicker.
Cheers,
Trudy
-
Thanks Trudy. I will cook it at 180 next time. :)

Glad you liked it Maddy.
-
This is in the oven baking as I type.... thought it would be a lovely dessert to take to a friend's for tonight! :)
-
Hope you all enjoy it Ceejay.

Made this last night, and it was very light and delicous. Have converted the cup measures for those that find it handy:
65g dessicated coconut
75g plain flour
250g raw sugar
85g lemon juice
370g milk
-
Thanks CP 63 :-* :-*
-
This looks Delish might give it a try tonight. Thanks for the recipe.
-
Trudy - thank you that was delish!!! I forgot to put timer on so I think it was slightly in oven a bit too long as it was firm but tasted delish. I blogged some pics of it on my blog and have referred people back to recipe on here so hope that is ok :)

I made this to take to my sisters on the weekend - it was yummo!! Thanks for converting Cream Puff that really comes in handy when you're in a hurry. This really does need the vanilla ice cream with it to balance the tang. :)
-
Good work with the pie WAThermoFamily. looks great and good work with the blog too :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
I made this on Friday evening for dessert.My SIL adored it and asked me to whip the serving dish away after he had two big helpings, he said he couldn't be trusted not to eat it all to himself. :D Thanks Trudy for a great recipe.
-
Glad you all liked it. WAThermoFamily I have no problem with you using this recipe on you site.
-
This bumped thread inspired me to make for morning and afternoon teas today. Thanks :)
-
we had this tonight - it was FABULOUS!!
The lemon juicing was a great way to get the onion and garlic smells from the curry off our hands
Happy Mothers Day everyone

I am going to give this a go either tonight or at the weekend, if I have enough time later I will make it ir not my DS has a friend for a sleepover on Saturday and Sunday so should be a hit with the boys.
Loving all these recipes

Prepare-ahead-to-bake-when-you-want desserts are handy to have on file KJH, thanks for that info.
-
My middle two loved this one this week... only comment was from my 5 year old who says he wants more lemon! :-)) :D
-
gee when I was 5 I couldn't comment beyond what was happening beyond the dress up corner and the monkey bars. they are so savvy nowadays, and I am sounding like a grandma. I am 47 yo, and in my day that was a Grandma -- not anymore :-(
-
You are practising to become a grandma CP - you are right though, my Mum was a Nana at 39 (not from me I might add) and I was 58 before I became a Grandma for the first time other than to dogs ;D ;D
-
We had this last night - it went in one sitting, YUM! :D
Hally
-
Yum - I am making this tonight. Looks so easy - I love lemon delicious but can't be bothered with the fiddlefaddling it involves. And I love a dessert you can make in advance!
-

I wholeheartedly admit that my children are a tad different to most CP. :D
Although I must add that their father is older than you. :D :D
All the intolerances and allergies we have in our family means a limited diet for them... when they find something they enjoy, they make sure to let me know! ;)
-
and ceejay, I am happy to admit that I am different to most ;D
If I fitted into a "Normal" box I would be most disappointed ;)
-

I'm going to try this today with Soy and Nuttelex (Dairy Free Marg). Will take the hint on the little less sugar. Thanks

Glad you liked it Judy!!
-
Do you think this recipe would work if you put the mix into individual pudding cups and steamed in the Varoma? I'm a bit obsessed with using the Varoma for steaming puddings!
-
Snappy, I have never tried this but give it a go and let me know how it goes!!!
-
I made this for dessert, thank you Trudy, easy & delicious.
H :)

Glad you liked it Hally.

What flour would you use in place of ordinary plain flour to make a gluten free version please?
Tks. Wiz(not)

Maybe potato flour.
Gert
-
Ah, thanks very much. I have to cater for someone who only eats gluten-free and as I don't share the limitation I'm ignorant about what flour is used for what purpose as a substitute for wheat.
-
You could just get gluten-free plain flour ;)
-
Making this for us as its so yummy & one for my friend :)
-
Doubled the recipe. Jug was very full. Wouldnt double again. They are in rhe oven now.
:)
-
another one for me to try.
Thanks
-
Still taste great, just jug very full :)
-
Made this today, cut sugar back to 1 cup and used limes.
Everyone loved it, served it with some vanilla and raspberry icecream, would certainly make again.
Marie :)
-
That sounds great Marie :D
-
sorry for the dump question, what type of a dish do u bake this in, can it be a cake tin ?
-
Uni, I bake this in a pyrex casserole dish - fairly wide base and flat-ish.
It is more like a self saucing pudding than anything, and I think it would leak out of a cake tin.
-
Thanks Karen
-
I'll be making this for dessert tonight. I have soooo many lemons!
Since I'm in the middle of cleaning my oven, I might try the make ahead version.
-
Just a wild idea? Can you make this with chocolate instead and substitute milk for lemon juice? Or coffee?
-
I don't know but give it a try. Good luck!!!
-
I made this tonight because we had a friend coming over for dinner :)
I cook it for exactly 40 minutes and it was still a little wobbly. I thought it would set while everyone ate the main course, but even when I came back to it, it was still very wobbly. When I put the serving spoon in it, the top broke and all this liquid mixture came up. Since everyone was ready for dessert, I just scooped the cooked bits from around the top and outside.

I served it with vanilla custard and everyone loved it, especially our guest :D
-
You got away with that one Amy ;)
-
I certainly did Judy, it came out looking exactly like the pie I had already dished up ;D ;D ;D
-
Wonder what happened Amy. Glad everyone liked it even though you had a problem.
-
Went to make this but had no eggs...
Duh!
-
Better luck next time!!
-
Made this today but overcooked it....
Still pale on top but somewhat solid all the way through.
Eaten up just the same.
Thanks for recipe.
Xx.
-
I made this for dessert tonight. Reduced sugar to 1 cup. Was lovely and enjoyed by all. Thank you for a quick and easy dessert.
-
I have made this a few times now and it really is "impossible pie" for me - I've overcooked it, undercooked it and even left out some ingredients, it's always been eaten though so obviously not too bad!
-
I make this regularly, absolutely no problems here. Might make 2 today, 1 for us & 1 for the nieghbours :)
:)
