Anguillan Coconut Moczka

Ingredients

This adaptation of Moczka differs from the original Polish dish by incorporating the flavors and ingredients commonly found in Anguillan cuisine. The traditional Polish Moczka typically consists of soaked bread, dried fruits, and nuts, while the Anguillan Coconut Moczka replaces these elements with tropical fruits such as bananas, mangoes, and pineapple. Additionally, the use of coconut milk and toasted coconut flakes adds a distinct Caribbean twist to the dish. We alse have the original recipe for Moczka, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Coconut milk — Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture.
• Sweetened condensed milk — If you prefer a less sweet dessert, you can use unsweetened condensed milk or adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk according to your taste.
• Toasted coconut flakes — To toast the coconut flakes, spread them evenly on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.

Tips & Tricks

• For added texture, you can sprinkle some crushed nuts, such as almonds or cashews, between the fruit layers.
• If you prefer a more tropical flavor, you can add a splash of rum to the coconut milk mixture before pouring it over the fruit.
• Experiment with different tropical fruits based on availability and personal preference. Papaya, passion fruit, or guava can be great additions or substitutions.
• To make it more visually appealing, garnish each serving with a fresh mint leaf or a slice of lime.
