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
Directions
Step 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and granulated sugar.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 3
After 5 minutes of cooking, add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir to evenly incorporate the spices.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Grease a square or rectangular baking dish with a teaspoon of butter to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Once the coconut mixture is ready, transfer it to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until fully set.
Step 8
Once cooled and firm, cut into square or diamond-shaped pieces to serve.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
