grated coconut

🥗Healthier: unsweetened shredded coconut

💰Cheaper: coconut milk

Unsweetened shredded coconut reduces sugar while maintaining flavor.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cornstarch can be a cost-effective thickener.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness, while brown sugar is often less expensive.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil enhances flavor, while margarine is often more affordable.

Heat extra virgin coconut oil in a heavy bottom skillet on medium to medium-high heat.

Add all-purpose flour to the skillet and stir to parch for about 15-20 minutes until the raw flour taste is cooked out.

Break off a piece of Ceylon cinnamon stick and add it to the flour mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix evaporated milk, granulated sugar, and condensed milk until sugar is dissolved.

Once the flour mixture is ready, stream in the milk mixture gradually while on high heat to absorb properly.

Add soaked raisins and finely chopped maraschino cherries to the mixture and mix until thickened and it leaves the sides of the pan.

If the mixture is too crumbly, add a couple tablespoons of boiling hot water to make it fluffier and more held together.
