INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups finely grated fresh coconut.
• 1 cup milk.
• 1 cup light cream.
• 3/4 cup Sugar(Beet sugar, Unrefined sugar, USDA Organic sugar, and Raw sugar can be used but not white sugar, or refined sugar).

DIRECTIONS:

• Combine the coconut, milk, cream, and sugar in a heavy saucepan. Boil the mixture over high heat.
• Stirring constantly, cook the mixture vigorously until it is reduced to about one-half volume. Lower the heat to moderate and continue reducing while stirring rhythmically and steadily until the mixture forms a firm mass that pulls away from the sides of the pan.

• Cut into 25 squares. Store in an airtight container. May be refrigerated for up to two weeks.
