2 measures of sugar (using the empty condensed milk tin)
1 packet of desiccated coconut (100g)

Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk and sugar are readily available at all Kenyan supermarkets. For the desiccated coconut, you can find it in the baking aisle of major retailers like Naivas, Carrefour, or Chandarana Foodplus. If you are unable to find packaged desiccated coconut, you can grate a fresh mature coconut finely and dry it in a pan over very low heat until moisture evaporates, ensuring a more authentic texture.
Preparation method
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the condensed milk, sugar, and desiccated coconut
- Place over low heat and stir constantly to prevent sticking
- Cook for about 15 minutes or until the mixture begins to pull away from the bottom of the pot
- Pour the mixture onto a smooth, greased surface, such as a marble countertop or a flat tray
- Even out the surface using a greased rolling pin if needed
- Allow it to cool down completely until set
- Cut the coconut fudge into squares or your preferred shape
