Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons sweet rice flour
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch (see note)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups light canned coconut milk

- Note: You can substitute 1/4 cup of your favorite gluten-free flour blend in this recipe, preferably one without added xanthan or guar gum.

Preheat oven to 350° F / 176° C
Beat eggs with sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add gluten-free flours, vanilla, coconut milk, softened dairy free butter substitute, salt, and flaked coconut. Beat just until ingredients are combined.
