How to make Coconut sweet

• Put the butter in a heavy saucepan and melt over a low heat, stirring constantly. Add the desiccated coconut, stirring to mix. Stir in the condensed milk, and keep stirring continuously for 7–10 minutes.

• Remove the sepan from the heat, set aside and leave the coconut mixture to cool slightly.

• Once cool enough to handle, shape the mixture into long blocks and cut into equal-size rectangles. Leave to set for 1 hour.

Precautions:

Sugar Syrup Temperature:

Be cautious not to overheat the sugar syrup. Stop heating once it forms a smooth syrup consistency.

Stir Constantly:

Stir the coconut mixture continuously while cooking to prevent sticking and ensure an even consistency.

Consistency Check:

Test the mixture’s readiness by dropping a small amount into cold water. It should form a soft ball.

Cooling Time:

Allow the coconut sweet to cool completely before cutting. This helps in achieving clean and neat slices.

Grease the Dish:

Grease the dish well before transferring the mixture to prevent sticking.

Quality Ingredients:

Use fresh shredded coconut and good-quality condensed milk for the best flavor.

Storage:

Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep away from moisture to maintain freshness.

By following these precautions, you’ll ensure a smooth and delightful experience in making coconut sweet, achieving a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
