How to Toast the Flaked Coconut
Toasting coconut is easy. Just spread the sweetened flaked coconut evenly onto bottom of shallow pan. Bake in 350°F oven 7 to 10 min. or until coconut is lightly browned, stirring frequently. Or, spread coconut onto bottom of microwaveable pie plate. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until coconut is lightly browned, stirring after each minute. Watch carefully as the coconut can easily burn!
