I made this filing for my double layer white cake, it worked wonderfully! The only thing I changed was adding more coconut (my family loves it and we can never get enough) and stirring the filling for a minute longer than required. Don't get discouraged if it stays a liquid for the first five minutes, in the 6th it really turns to a great filling!
