  • Yield Makes 4 dozen

Ingredients

    • Vegetable-oil cooking spray
    • 1 pound grated fresh coconut or unsweetened shredded coconut
    • 2 3/4 cups sugar
    • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
    • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk

Directions

  1. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Stir together remaining ingredients in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring almost constantly, until mixture thickens and forms a cohesive mass, about 30 minutes.
  2. Pour mixture onto prepared sheet. With an offset spatula, spread 1/2 inch thick; shape into a 12-by-13-inch rectangle. Let cool completely, then cut into 1 1/2-by-2-inch rectangles.
