    I love this recipe and have made it frequently for several years. Today I guess I was reading it more carefully than before and noticed in the introductory notes it mentions shredded coconut. And again in the ingredient links at the bottom it lists coconut flakes. However Shredded coconut does not show up in the ingredient list or instructions. Is there supposed to be shredded cocnut in this recipe?

      Hi Tricia, Thanks for your comment. Sorry for the confusion. I tend to use these two terms interchangeably. Coconut flakes are the same as shredded coconut in my mind. Thanks again and apologies! Jane
