Raspberry Coconut Custard Bars
These bars combine a buttery biscuit base, a fruity raspberry jam layer, and a creamy coconut custard filling. The contrast between crunchy base and silky topping makes them absolutely irresistible.
Ingredients
Base
2 cups crushed biscuits
1/2 cup butter, melted
Filling
1 can (395 g) condensed milk
1 cup milk
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup raspberry jam
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20 cm square baking tin with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix crushed biscuits with melted butter until fully combined. Press firmly into the base of the tin and bake for 10 minutes to set. Remove and let cool slightly. In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together condensed milk, milk, and cornstarch until smooth. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens into a custard consistency. Remove from heat and stir in coconut. Spread raspberry jam evenly over the biscuit base. Carefully pour custard mixture over the jam and smooth the top. Bake for 15–20 minutes until set. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
This dessert is perfect for those who love fruity and creamy combinations. The raspberry adds brightness while the coconut brings texture and warmth.
Gooey Condensed Milk Butter Cake
If you’re searching for a soft, rich, melt-in-your-mouth cake, this Gooey Condensed Milk Butter Cake is pure comfort. It’s moist, buttery, and incredibly easy to prepare.

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 can (395 g) condensed milk
1 1/2 cups plain flour
