- Carefully pour the mixture on top of the first layer.
- Place the cake in the freezer to set for at least 4-5 hours.

Notes
Always use full-fat canned coconut milk or the cake won’t turn out creamy. Chill it in the refrigerator overnight so that you can easily separate cream from the liquid. The cream should be firm enough so that you can scoop it out with a spoon. If it’s too watery, the cake won’t be able to hold its shape.
