Indian Coconut Dessert
- 1 cup Coconut
- 1 can Condensed milk
- 100 ml Milk
- 4 tbsp Your choice of nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios, etc.)
- 20 Saffron (optional)
- 1 Sugar
- Slowly heat 1/2 cup or more of the condensed milk in a pan, and simmer until it thickens.
- This step requires a lot of patience.
- Carefully boil off the water content without scalding.
- Roast the nuts.
- Feel free to use your choice of nuts.
- Next, crush the nuts as shown.
- Put the saffron into a small amount of milk to draw out the color.
- Once the milk is colored, remove the saffron, add the milk to the pan from Step 1, and continue to slowly boil off the water content.
- Dry roast the shredded coconut.
- This should also be done slowly to prevent burning.
- Roast until the coconut is flaky and dry, and browns to the color shown.
- Once the milk from Step 1 has completely thickened, add the nuts and the coconut from Steps 3 and 6, then cool.
- Add sugar to taste.
- Pour into molds of your choice (I used a plastic tray, since it's easy to break the pieces), or pour into a tray.
- Sprinkle with nuts, then chill in the refrigerator until it sets, then serve.
