Coconut Cream Poke Cake

This one is delicious and is always a hit!  The Cream of Coconut soaks into the warm cake filling it with flavor and making it super moist and the topping of Cool Whip and coconut add a light, tasty frosting!

Here are a couple tips:

First, make sure you get Cream of Coconut and NOT coconut milk.  There's a big difference and you don't want to make that mistake!  

I found the Cream of Coconut in the Asian foods section of my store so you may want to check there first. If you can't find it, you can purchase on Amazon.  (Linked below with picture of what it looks like, in case you haven't used this in a recipe before now!)

After you've tried Cream of Coconut, you may find it's a delicious and non-dairy alternative to whipped cream. 

Make Your Poke Cake:

I use a straw to poke holes in the cake because I found that it makes the perfect size holes for the Cream of Coconut to soak through.  I've tried forks, wooden spoon handles and a couple other things and my favorite thing to use is the straw.  This tip works for any poke cake!

When you need a light, delicious dessert for summer be sure to give this simply delicious recipe a try!
