I know this is quite a long and boring process, but just keep an eye on them Ok, don't fall asleep or go check your facebook like what I did last year, if you don't want burnt coconut.After 30 mins: the coconut should have a lightly yellowish color. Turn to low heat. Keep separating them every now and then so they don't get stick to each other.After 50 mins: turn heat to lowest level as the milk liquid have thickened and thus will get burnt very easily.

After 1 hour+: Turn off stove when the coconut is completely dry. Although coconut may have a light gold color now, it will gradually turn to a cream off-white color after cooling down.The final product should have an off white color and a mildly sweet and rich taste. Store them in glass containers for the coming holiday.This dish is quite simple to make, but looks sophisticated and most importantly, very delicious.
