Coconut Fudge | recipe my childhood favorite. #guyanesefood #caribbeanfood

fresh grated coconut

🥗Healthier: unsweetened coconut flakes

💰Cheaper: dried coconut

Dried coconut is more accessible and less expensive.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds sweetness with fewer calories.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil enhances the coconut flavor.

Add 1 cup sugar, 1 can evaporated milk, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 cup coconut milk to a skillet.

Mix the ingredients to combine and allow the sugar to dissolve.

Once the sugar dissolves, reduce heat to low to prevent the milks from burning.

Stir consistently until the mixture thickens.

Add 1/4 cup butter and stir until melted, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Continue cooking until the mixture thickens a bit more and starts to cling to the edges of the skillet.

Stir until the mixture changes from a shiny color to a matte color and becomes super thick.

Pour the mixture into a baking dish or any dish of your choice and smooth the top.

Allow it to cool completely before cutting into squares or desired shapes.

For a harder fudge, add more sugar.
