Ingredients

  • 1 (13.5-ounce / 400 ml) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons (38 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (40 g) cornstarch
  • 1 cup (80 g) unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for coating

Instructions

  1. Line an 8 x 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. Shake coconut milk well. Pour half into a saucepan and add sugar. Warm over low heat, stirring until dissolved (do not boil).
  3. Whisk cornstarch into the remaining coconut milk until completely smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan while whisking constantly. Cook over low heat for 3–4 minutes until very thick and smooth.
  5. Transfer immediately to the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Cool at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, then refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm.
  7. Lift out using parchment, cut into bars or squares.
  8. Roll each bar in shredded coconut just before serving.

Notes

  • The mixture must be very thick before pouring to ensure proper setting.
  • Full-fat coconut milk gives best texture.
  • Store uncoated bars refrigerated up to 3 days.
  • Coat in coconut just before serving to prevent sogginess.
  • Freezing is not recommended as texture may change.
