INGREDIENTS
3 cups/250g fresh shredded coconut or desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
1 cup/200g palm sugar or white cane sugar
1 cup/200g water
a pinch of sea salt
In a medium saucepan combine the water and the coconut and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes to rehydrate the coconut. Add the sugar and continue stirring until the sugar begins to caramelize. This will take between 20 and 35 minutes. If it’s getting too dry and still not caramelizing, add a teaspoon of water to it, as you continue to cook it. It will brown eventually. When your candy is medium brown remove it from the heat. While it’s hot scoop out walnut sized balls with two spoons and arrange them on a sheet of parchment paper to cool. When they are fully cool transfer them to a container with a tight fitting lid.
If you don’t caramelize the sugar enough, the candy will be sticky and uninteresting. You want the sugar to be dark caramel in places with an overall medium brown color. These may take a little practice, but they’re so worth it. If you can get ripe fresh coconuts, shred them with a fine cheese grater or a coconut scraper (see link below) for the best results.
NOTE: Sweetened coconut will NOT WORK. It’s covered in anti caking agents that creates a gelatinous goo. I’ve tried it and it’s gross.

I am glad to hear you visited my beautiful country!
I am.going to try your recipe right now 😊
The spoons were doing the tango. Thanks for sharing this delicious looking recipe.
You look lovely glowing and all knowing. The coco bon bons are worth chowing. The seeds of learning you are sowing.
That looks awesome! I am a big fan of anything with coconut in it.
Cool. I'am on it....;)
I baked bread 2 day for the first time !
I got the recipe form Codys wife & her Mom's Dutch oven video.
It came out great. I was out side try the dig the car out of the snow to get to town when it was ready. Will try it in the am.....
Namaste
This looks very sweet, no pun intended lol. Going to have to try this one for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Massachusetts Prepper You're welcome.
Oh boy, these look yummy!!!!!
Hi, here in Brazil we call it COCADA, made of coconut literally, and have many variations like white Cocada, brown Cocada, Cream Cocada and Tijolinhos de Cocada [Little briks of Cocada]. It's a very popular sweet here.
Alex Ribeiro I can see why. It's delicious. Thanks for the info.
Thank you so much for this 🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬
Had to go back & try to catch up on your vids (computer issues, life, etc.) & gave them a thumbs up. Hope to try this one. Still making your choc chip cookie recipe; since it is still my favorite cookie :)
owlsnaturalways Meee tooo!
I'm so making this! I love coconut. You look adorable by the way:)
*EYES WIDE*
*BREATHING HEAVY*
*DROOLING*
I Love coconut! I wonder if these would be good with chocolate in/on them too.....or dipped in warm melted chocolate as you eat them.
If it was earlier in the evening, I would be getting the ingredients to try these right NOW!
I have a feeling you have just introduced me to a soon to be favorite! :)
Colin Keevil I think I did. I'm with you Colin, coconut is the best flavor ever. Well, that and hazelnut gelato. So delicious. Amazon carries dessicated unsweetened coconut *wink*wink*.
Colin Keevil ...and palm sugar.
Greetings from South Africa!
I want to try these for a school project. My froend’s son has to present a 3 course meal from Madagascar. How many bon bons do you get out of one recipe? I need to make 50….
Ymmm.....and now a yummy candy, made from fresh grated coconut or dried, so that's palm sugar, i've heard about it but never tried it, ya think instead of making Coconut BonBons, brown sugar or piloncillo could be used? GP's gonna have some sweet love in his tummy, courtesy his FRESH P!! :)
I would use Carmelites white sugar because brown or pilloncillo would overpower the coco. But if you try it please let me know.
Where do I find this recipe? I don’t understand where it is!!
I imagine the French would say Bon Bon Appetit..
These look amazing! What is the texture like? Are they crunchy or chewy?
They are chewy and delicious!!!
Do you share those with GP or do you hoard them all to yourself lol It is always the simplest things to make taste the best
Graveltrucking It was his Valentine's treat, they were all his. He's a lover, so he shared them at the potluck that night.
Graveltrucking I'm not eating sugar right now, so it's easy to bake and share.
FRESH PRINCESS Why did you give up sugar ?
I've been weeding it out of my diet for the past couple of years. I like to do month or two month stints w/o any processed sugar in my diet. Primarily because it's death to the body, but on a more personal level it's inflammatory. I have hip dysplasia, it's genetic. Well the past 6 or 7 weeks the femroacetabular impingement has prevented me from walking more than a couple blocks. I have been off the sugar and white flour for the better part of 2 years (since diagnosis). I threw the diet out the window in Baja and was eating ice cream daily and eating out regularly. It took 7 weeks for me to realize how bad it's become. If I don't eat well, I can't walk. And maybe it's progressed to this point and has nothing to do with diet, but I'm not going backwards that's for sure. I walked maybe a mile today testing various femur rotation exercises to see if I could eliminate the pinching, after that I couldn't walk anymore. So I'm back on my usual plant food diet now. I can ride my bike w/o pain and surf, thankfully, but I miss walking.
Sugar is white poison I feel better that I have cut out 90% of the sugar in my diet. I can't touch ice cream it makes me really ill. I have cut out white flour except when I make pancakes but that is once a month at the most. I don't like the taste of white bread anymore used to eat loaves of it. A friend of mine she has arthritis she's gone completely vegetarian she is same age as you. She is trying natural remedies the medications to treat what she has makes her ill. When they say you are what you eat it is true, start binging on the bad stuff it comes back to haunt you. I'm finding that now that I have cleaned up my act I can't eat the stuff I used to eat. I will pay for it if I eat sugar, I will also pay for it if I have caffeine which is in the Tylenol I take when I get a bad headache. The coconut oil pills are helping the problems I used to get with my knees, it is mainly with my sciatica and lower back pain. I just got back into powerwalking again I spent a month and half run down had a cold that wouldn't go away plus I had other things giving me stress in my life. Get your diet back on track you should be good to go.
I'm soooo looking forward to making this! And even better...I'm the only one in my house that likes coconut. All the more for me!
TheBeeVlog You're stoked!
I guess the French would say Bon Bon Appétit..
MMMMMmmmmmmmm........
Im tired of you ,,,,,you are always so happy ! LOL That sweet smile and bright eyes are always present. Do you ever get in a bad mood ? I mean, you were even halfway pleasant in the video when the ax attacked you ! HaHa
Your haaaaiiiirrrr is so cuuuuuuuuute!!!
...and this recipe also looks delicious. lol
Rose Wheeler Ahhh you're sooooo swwweeeeettt!
After watching your video, the page came up with suggested similar videos. One, if I'm not mistaken, said it was made in Madagascar and looked like something close to what you described but had a couple of other ingredients. I thought you might be interested in seeing it for comparison. Could it possibly be the same woman who taught you how to make your version? th-cam.com/video/nq5VShvAzYA/w-d-xo.html
A rare recipe. Thanks!
Hello! My Girl Guide (Canadian Girl Scouts!) troop will be presenting Madagascar in a World Fair event, and we would love to offer these! One thing we'd like to know, because we need to transport a large amount of them... when they cool do they harden? Or do we risk having a big clump of stickiness when we arrive at our event? Thanks so much for sharing!
They will stay together as balls when they harden. Fun! Enjoy them.
@@Thefreshp cheers!
how many bonbons does this make?
