I have friends who are Italian and always invite me to their 4th of July celebration. I made this and also made Italian Cream. I’m Irish German heritage btw. The elderly couple took one bite and exclaimed “WHO MADE THIS!!” in Italian and all the young people turned and looked at me. I quickly said “I hope I haven’t offended anybody with my effort.”
They got up and came and kissed me on both cheeks multiple times. I kissed back as I had been told to do if any of them would kiss me. I told my hostess that it was sugar free because usually nothing else was for diabetics like me with chronic kidney disease. She was greatly pleased as she’s diabetic too and had some. They loved my Italian Cream also and I had brought decaf. They also like my Lobster with homemade eggs noodles. The elderly couple had come as a favor to the hostess whose mother was their friend all their lives in Italy. Then the stories began, half in Italian and English, and everybody relaxed through the long long dinner. They wanted to know who I was related to at the party, and I explained my mother’s friendship with the hostess’s mother. And that I am accepted as a sister to Aunt Grace’s children. “And she cooks like an Italian just for us!” one of my “brothers” yelled. “Her mother was The Artist!” and they pointed to the portraits of the family all around. “And she (me) is the statue restorer artist !” They pointed to the antique statue that Aunt Grace had brought to the USA when she and husband emigrated. It turns out the statue had been gifted by the elderly couple who spent a great deal of time examining the statue. They promised to write out the history of it in the old country, and my “sister” hostess showed them the photos of progressive restoration. They were pleased I’d kept the look of patina of great age. That dessert brought great joy.

In reply to Jill. Yes it's canned coconut cream. I like the brand Thai Kitchen for it's really creamy texture.
