Where to find ingredients
You can find coconuts and standard baking ingredients at large supermarkets or specialty fruit and vegetable markets. While 'green' coconuts specifically refer to young coconuts often found in Asian grocers, mature coconut meat can be used as a substitute if necessary.
Preparation method
- Add the coconut water, caster sugar, and cloves to a heavy-bottomed pot.
- Mix the ingredients gently.
- Place over heat and wait for the syrup to begin boiling.
- Incorporate the grated coconut into the pot.
- Maintain the cooking process over high heat for approximately 20 minutes.
- Stir the contents of the pot occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat as soon as the mixture reaches a creamy consistency.
