Prepare a baking dish or tray by lining it with parchment paper. Set it aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the desiccated coconut, granulated sugar, whole milk, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly to combine the ingredients and avoid burning.
Once the mixture begins to thicken, reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for about 15-20 minutes until the mixture becomes a thick, sticky mass that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture, stirring well to incorporate.
Quickly transfer the hot fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until firm to the touch.
Once set, cut the fudge into bite-sized squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
