This Filipino dessert is made by cooking shredded coconut with melted sweetener until caramelized, then shaping it into small balls. A classic finger food for parties, it is low-carb because it uses a refined sweetener.
Melt the butter in a wide pan and add the sweetener. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until melted and thickened.
Add the shredded coconut and salt to the pan. Cook over low heat for 35 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is sticky and dark in color; stay by the stove to prevent burning.
Spread the hot mixture on a tray and let it cool slightly. Lightly oil your hands, then shape it into small balls.
Leave the shaped balls at room temperature for at least 25 minutes, until firm.
Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, or it will stick to the bottom and burn. Allergen: contains milk and dairy products.
Tarifte 35 dakika yazıyor ama benim tavamda karışım 45 dakikada koyulaştı, muhtemelen tavamın tabanı ince olduğu için ısı daha yavaş işledi. Yine de sonuç lezzetliydi.
