  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Start by baking the puff pastry per package instructions until golden and crispy. If not already cut, cut into squares then bake.

  • Once puff pastry has cooled, break into small pieces and place in a large casserole.
  • Layer with the nuts and shredded coconut, reserving some of each for garnish. Don't add the raisins yet or they will burn.

  • Spread the can of cream over the surface.
  • Bake in the oven for approximately 15-20 mins until hot and bubbling, then broil for 5-10 mins until surface is golden brown. Add the raisins a few minutes before removing from the oven to toast them.
  • Serve immediately, with nuts on the side for topping.
