COCONUT CANDY


During our school days,
the only candy we know and enjoy is none other than these coconut candies!

Surely, the colour and the sweetness has attracted children like us.

The first recipe we learn in Home Science Class
was Coconut Candy.

It does take a bit of patience to cook these colourful little cubes.

The ingredients are simple
but it is fragrant and nice!


Coconut Candy
150g freshly grated coconut (corrected, sorry for the typing mistake)
50g sugar
50g condense milk
5g salted butter

Pink colour: beetroot juice

1. combine all ingredients in a pan
2. cook at medium heat, stirring
3. when ingredients sticks together, about 20min, it is ready
4. pour into an oiled pan, level and press down firmly and allow to cool
5. leave in fridge to set
6. cut into cubes to serve

Note:
1) white sugar can be replaced with palm sugar for natural light brown colour

2) pandan juice can be used for green colour.

    Coconut candy. Indian shop dessert. So sweet. Milkmaid was famous brand then.
    Katie Foong: Yes, now no more milkmaid brand condense milk. F&N condense milk is the only brand available now in the market, very expensive.
    Ding Mee Ling: yes. Rose syrup for the color😄
    Katie Foong: yay

    Katie, it really brings back those wonderful memories of yesteryears. My favourite childhood treats. During my primary school days, I always buy this coconut candy to eat as most children love everything sweet. Now old already, the less sweet the better. 😗😁
    Katie Foong: Love these colourful little cubes too when I was young. It sure bring back many many sweet sweet memories. Thinking about it also feel the joy in my heart. How wonderful!

    Katie Foong: Yes yes! Those days we also use condense milk as spread on our toasts, yummy! Practically Finger licking good, because we pour so much condense milk that it overflows in between our fingers, oh......
