- Scroll down for ingredients Coconut Candy is one of our family’s most requested treat during the Christmas season. It is sinfully good but you’ll need to put some elbow grease into it!
This recipe was brought to us by our much loved nanny of 50 years. Mary started working with us when she was about 18 years old. She had many yummy snack ideas up her sleeve. As such we were often spoilt with afternoon tea delights upon returning from school. Mary learnt this delicious coconut candy recipe from a Eurasian family whom she was working with before joining our family.
We hope you will try to make it and maybe it will become a tradition in your family too!
COCONUT CANDY
Ingredients:
900g freshly grated coconut
300ml evaporated milk (full cream)
400g granulated sugar
3 tbsp margarine
1 1/4 tsp salt
6 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 tsp red food colouring
Use a 8“ x 12” pan
Store in air-tight container in the fridge; consume within 1 week. It keeps for months in the freezer.
Anne’s tip:
For better flavour, use IDEAL evaporated milk instead of CARNATION. Ideal evaporated milk enhances the coconut flavour of the candy. This brand is easily available in Malaysia. However we could not find it in Singapore. If using Ideal evaporated milk, you will need to use 500ml. As there is more liquid, you will need to cook the coconut longer to achieve the correct consistency.

Dear Ann, First, Thank you so much for sharing your delicious candy receipe. Do we need to put oil over the wok b4 we pour in the grated coconut.. thanks again

It is my favourite goodie too (but a lot of hard work!). Ok one day I will make it 😄
Hi, may I know how long will this keep in air tight container? Must this be refrigerated or left at room temperature.
Hi Sara, in an airtight container it will keep for under a week in room temperature. In the fridge for 2 weeks, and in the freezer for 2 months.
Hello sister can I include cocoa & when to add
Thanks for showing, itoo use evoporated milk let me tell you iadd1 cup of powder milk n1/2lemon it turns well sister nocolourning beigh sorry for interfering
Can we reduce sugar for the coconut xandy?
Seriously I just came across this recipe.. advice me pls, can we use condensed milk few spoons? What to do if the texture is not harden?
Can I know how long did you stir the candy. Mine turned out super hard till couldn't even cut.
It will take about 40mins. Too long it will get very hard. Once mixture starts leaving pan, you should be alert. Cut while warm... say about 10mins after you have smoothed it out on the tray.
Indian sweet
Colour is not good for liver .
It looks delicious ❤️😍
Dear Aunty, thank you for sharing your recipes to us. I love learning "old" recipes especially cakes and anything sweets because I want to keep the taste of my childhood going. I don't want to look back one day and say, I wish I had learnt a particular recipe. I am trying my best to learn old school recipes even though it's tough to get them right now especially for cakes due to family secret recipes haha. When I was hoping that I could learn from someone, your video suggestions appeared on my feed and I felt soooo happy and blessed. Thank you Aunty for helping people like myself to learn and to keep the tradition going. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family, Aunty ❤️
Thank you so much for your lovely message. I am glad you find my recipes helpful. It is my intention that my children & grandchildren will always be able to enjoy these traditional treats in the many years to come. Am happy to share my recipes with everyone too! Thank you for your Christmas greetings. May you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year too 🎄💗
I don't have access to fresh coconut. Could I use preshredded, packaged coconut from the supermarket?
Hi aunty thanks for the recipe but may i ask if we can use condensed milk n mix ideal milk instead of adding sugar n want to use butter..Can?
It's hard to find freshly grated coconut where I'm from. Can I use frozen?
Does it can be stored in air tight box at room temperature 25 degree celsius for longer days.. And for how much days it can be stored
Very nice tools
Enjoyed watching all ur recipe during the time we can’t travel back to msia … regards from Australia
How do u.make the white to put on top. Top for the cream coconut cream..what is the respite for that
❤ Sweets
Can use butter
My granny used to make it,syrup,cocolate flavour missed it 39 yrs ago.
Wow my favorite dessert since my childhood. New friend here always support
For the candy roughly the stirring of coconut would be 30 mins?
Evaporated milk?? Most uses condense milk
The finishing with banana leaf it's awesome.
That is the correct way to make candy.Do not fry the coconut and use condenced milk.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks
It looks very tasty, thanks for the recipe 😋
Love the use of the banana leaf!
Haha thanks, Paula! 💗
Very neatly done Thank you so much for sharing.
Our pleasure! 💗 Hope you enjoy making it 😊
very nice of you to share thank you so much
My pleasure to share! Enjoy 💗💗💗
Thanks for sharing 🥰❤️
Good tip with grease proof paper.
How long you have cooked the mixture
Hi there, it is difficult to give an exact time as the timing varies depending on the heat used. The most important thing is to test with a spatula towards the end (when the candy mixture is almost dry). If the candy doesn’t stick to the spatula, then it is ready.
So yummy
Letme try this later! 😋
My favorite childhood treat!
We love it too! Triggers many happy memories. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄
