Directions
- 1
Combine the condensed milk, sugar, and shredded coconut in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, stirring until evenly mixed.
- 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom.
- 3
Continue cooking for 20–25 minutes until the mixture turns a deep golden to light caramel color.
- 4
Remove from heat and pour immediately into a buttered baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- 5
While still warm, cut into small squares using a lightly oiled knife.
- 6
Allow to cool completely at room temperature before removing from the pan and serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a microwave version: cook at medium-high power in 4-minute intervals, stirring between each, for about 16 minutes total. Watch carefully at the end as the mixture puffs up quickly. Cutting while warm is essential — once fully cooled, the fudge hardens and becomes difficult to slice cleanly.
