Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk and desiccated coconut in the baking or long-life milk aisles of major supermarkets in Gaborone and across Botswana. If desiccated coconut is unavailable, freshly grated coconut is an excellent, albeit slightly moister, substitute.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk, sugar, and desiccated coconut in a heavy-based saucepan.
- Place over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to pull away cleanly from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the mixture onto a smooth, greased surface, such as a marble slab or a greased baking tray.
- Level the surface with a greased rolling pin if necessary.
- Allow the mixture to cool down completely until set.
- Cut the coconut slab into squares or your preferred shape before serving.
