have some sweet Malaysian delight

Ingredients:​

• 2 cups grated fresh coconut (or unsweetened shredded coconut if fresh isn’t available)
• 1 cup palm sugar (or brown sugar, grated)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp tapioca flour (optional, for a firmer texture)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the water and palm sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
2. Add Coconut and Salt: Add the grated coconut and salt to the pan. Stir well to combine.
3. Cook: Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid evaporates and the mixture thickens (about 10-15 minutes).
4. Optional - Thicken: If you prefer a firmer texture, mix the tapioca flour with a little water to form a slurry and stir it into the coconut mixture. Cook for a few more minutes until thickened.
5. Cool and Set: Transfer the mixture to a lined or greased dish, pressing it down evenly. Let it cool completely and set before cutting into squares or bars.
