Check out the ingredients needed to make your Coconut Manjar, following the step-by-step preparation instructions.

Ingredients

  • 1 liter of milk

  • 1 glass of coconut milk (200ml)

  • 1 cup grated coconut (unsweetened)

  • 1 cup cornstarch

  • 2 cups of sugar

  • Caramel sauce (optional)

Directions

  • If you wish to unmold the dish, grease a pudding mold with a little oil or butter and set aside.
  • Mix the cornstarch in a glass with a little milk until completely dissolved. Reserve.
  • In a pan, add the remaining milk, coconut milk, grated coconut and sugar.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  • When the mixture starts to boil, add the cornstarch dissolved in the milk, stirring continuously.
  • Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and reaches the consistency of a cream.
  • Pour the mixture into the pudding mold (or into individual pots, if you prefer).
  • Let it cool at room temperature for a few minutes before putting it in the fridge.
  • Place the manjar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until it is firm.
  • If you chose to unmold, before serving, run a knife around the edge of the mold to loosen the flavor.
  • Place a serving plate over the pan and turn it upside down. The delicacy should come loose and stay on the plate.
  • Serve the coconut delicacy chilled, with caramel sauce if desired.
