Add the chopped strawberries to a heated pan.
Top the strawberries with sugar and let it boil.
Mix the sugar properly with the strawberries and mix well. Let the mixture boil.
You will notice the sugar melting. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
Let the mixture keep boiling for about 10 minutes or until it thickens. You should cook the mixture until it starts sticking to the spatula.
Once the compote is ready, keep it aside and let it come to room temperature.
Now, bring the milk to a boil. Add the desiccated coconut and mix well.
Make a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon corn flour with water. Add it to the milk mixture. Mix.
Turn off the heat once the mixture thickens.
Transfer the mixture to a glass dish. Let it set in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Once it’s set, top it up with the strawberry compote.
Transfer the dish to the refrigerator to cool.
Serve once it is properly set.
