I've made this so many times, it's an absolute favourite in our house for school lunches, kids sport and warm with icecream for dessert. Each time I try to vary the combinations and everything works so well. We love Bill :)

  Hi Jayme,
  
  I am in US and needed to convert too. I found the website below and hope it helps. They measurements don't always come out in a whole number, so measure as well as possible.

did you use desiccated coconut (sweetened or unsweetend)? If not what about dried coconut?

I have made this over 20 times with various fruit/jam combos depending what is in season and it is always fabulous. It works fine with dairy-free subs ( i.e Nuttelex and rice/soy milk) and I have even cooked it w ith a commercial Gluten free blend successfully. It is a real winner.
