Notes
Top with low-fat Greek yogurt
To toast your coconut, put in 375-degree oven until golden brown.
If you pour the liquid in the middle of the dish, all fruit might float on top. Be sure to pour mixture in the side of the baking dish. The goal is to create evenly distributed fruits and sweetness in every slice.
