Coconut Tres Leches

Looking for a dessert with a genuine touch of the tropics? Coconut Tres Leches is Grenada's answer, an airy sponge soaked in three different milks and perfumed with coconut until every forkful is cool, creamy and impossibly moist. It is the kind of pudding that turns up at christenings, birthdays and Sunday lunches across the Spice Isle, yet it is simple enough to make on an ordinary weekday. One spoonful and your kitchen might as well be facing the Caribbean Sea.
