- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking dish or tray by lining it with parchment paper. Set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the desiccated coconut, granulated sugar, whole milk, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly to combine the ingredients and avoid burning.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture, stirring well to incorporate.
Step 6
Quickly transfer the hot fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until firm to the touch.
Step 8
Once set, cut the fudge into bite-sized squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
