Coconut Pudding

In a saucepan, combine the grated coconut with the water and cook until it reaches a thread-like consistency

Let it cool, then add the beaten egg whites and yolks, whisking constantly

Then, whisk in the shredded coconut

Whisk very well and add the melted butter or margarine mixed with the all-purpose flour to the coconut mixture

Pour into a hollow mold and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30-40 minutes, until a crust forms on top

If desired, you can also add some whole cloves.
