​​Directions

  • Pour the coconut juice into the pot.

  • Add the icing sugar (powdered sugar). Stir.

  • Add the tiny coconut pieces and stir.

  • Add water to the same level as the coconut pieces.

  • Cover the pot and set to boil at high heat.

  • Once the contents start boiling, stir continuously till all the water is just about evaporated.

  • Reduce to low heat and continue stirring.

  • At a time, you will notice that the contents have started sticking together. That is the sugar caramelising.

  • Keep stirring till the coconut pieces start turning slightly brown.

  • Turn off the heat and scoop the very hot coconut candy onto a flat plate and leave to cool down.

  • Once cold, you can serve as dessert or eat it as a snack.

Coconut Candy

Ingredients

  • 1 head fresh coconut with the juice

  • 200g icing sugar (powdered sugar)

  • Water

Before you make

Break the coconut, making sure to collect the coconut juice from it.

Remove the meat from the shells and grate the meat into small pieces. I use the smaller openings on this grater for this task. Make sure to grate along the meat of the coconut rather than across it. This is so that you'll have long thin coconut pieces rather than a mass of grated coconut.
