This is a great traditional coconut recipe. We serve this at our family luau every year. Ingredients:
5 cups grated fresh coconut |
2 cups boiling water |
5 tablespoons cornstarch |
5 tablespoons white sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 pinch salt |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Stir coconut into boiling water in a large bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes, then strain through cheesecloth, squeezing out all of the liquid to yield 3 cups.
2. Stir together the cornstarch, sugar, nutmeg, and salt. Bring the coconut milk to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the sugar mixture, and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. When very thick, remove from heat ,and stir in vanilla. Pour into an 8x8-inch pan, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until set.
