Materials

  • 3 cups Scraped Coconut
  • 1.5 cups Sugar

Instructions

  • Break the coconut into halves and scrape it.
  • After scraping the coconut, place it in a blender jar and pulse for a few seconds to smooth it out.
  • Now, in a bowl, combine the smooth coconut with the sugar and mash it well for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Put this mixture in a pan and cook it on a low to medium heat. Continuously stir.
  • After a while, the sugar will begin to melt and the coconut will release water. However, keep on cooking and slowly the water will dry up and mixture will thicken.
  • It will initially be sticky and will subsequently turn slightly dry. If you want soft narus like me, turn off the heat when the mixture leaves the pan wall and becomes sticky, not entirely dry, and can form lumps.
  • Set aside for 5-10 minutes, covered with a lid.
  • After that, take a tablespoon of the mixture (while it is still hot but you can handle it) and roll it between your palms to form balls. Make all of the balls from the mixture slowly.
