Coconut candy as its popularly known in Nigeria is a childhood classic favorite of most kids that grew up in Nigeria. This was one of the things our lunch money or pocket money was devoted to.
Its simply grated coconut cooked in caramelized sugar. Some make it very dark while some prefer it light in color, its all about how long you cook your sugar for.
INGREDIENTS
*300g coconut (grate about 2 fresh coconuts or use shop bought unsweetened coconut flakes).
*250g Sugar (granulated or caster)
*130ml milk or water
*Optional, 1tsp of mint flavour
PREPARATION
Place a clean pot on heat and pour in your milk/water and sugar.
Stir very well over heat
Bring to the boil
Once it begins to boil pour in the grated coconut.
Stir and keep on stirring on heat.
Once it gets golden brown, pour out of the pot into a clean bowl. You can use a spoon to scoop into desired portions and use the palm of your hand to make into smooth balls. Once it gets cold you might not be able to mold anymore so bear that in mind.
Enjoy!!!
