• Candied Coconut – 9th Day of Christmas

    I don’t know about you but what comes to my mind during this festive period is the amount of candy, chocolate and food I can have. Growing up my mum always made this snack for my brothers and I and we loved it. It  brings back childhood memories and I believe this would make for a very great Christmas snack. So on this 9th day of Christmas I give you Candied Coconut……Seasons Feedings!

    Ingredients

    • 1 Coconut
    • 1 Cup of sugar
    • 1-2 spoons of cream

    Recipe 

    1. Break the coconut and separate the coconut meat from the shell
    2. Using a grater, grate the coconut into tiny pieces
    3. In a small saucepan, put in the sugar and allow to caramelize under low heat.
    4. Add 1-2 spoons of cream, this prevents the caramel from getting too hard
    5. Stir in the grated coconut meat, continue to stir for about 10-15 minutes or until it is almost dark brown. You’ll notice the caramel sticking to the pot and also getting burnt, this is normal.
    6. Leave to cool down for 10 minutes
    7. Using a spoon, scoop some of the candied coconut into a parchment paper and mold into any form you desire.
    8. Leave to cool for an hour
    9. Once it’s cooled, unwrap and serve
