Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 can (397 grams) Sweetened condensed milk
- 240 milliliters Coconut milk
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Butter
Instructions
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and granulated sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly to prevent sticking or burning.
After 5 minutes of cooking, add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir to evenly incorporate the spices.
Continue cooking the mixture on medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens and begins pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 20-25 minutes.
Grease a square or rectangular baking dish with a teaspoon of butter to prevent sticking.
Once the coconut mixture is ready, transfer it to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until fully set.
Once cooled and firm, cut into square or diamond-shaped pieces to serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
