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
- Break the coconut and separate the coconut meat from the shell
- Using a grater, grate the coconut into tiny pieces
- In a small saucepan, put in the sugar and allow to caramelize under low heat.
- Add 1-2 spoons of cream, this prevents the caramel from getting too hard
- 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.
- Leave to cool down for 10 minutes
- Using a spoon, scoop some of the candied coconut into a parchment paper and mold into any form you desire.
- Leave to cool for an hour
- Once it’s cooled, unwrap and serve
