How to make coconut candy
Does childhood memory include coconut candy? I remember that when I was a child, my family often bought coconut candy.If you like to eat it, it's better to try making it yourself. It's convenient and safe to make at home. Even if you don't eat it all, you can package it with various sugar wrappers, which is also a good gift!Let's see how coconut candy is made by professionals!
Ingredients: white sugar, highmaltosesyrup, fresh coconut juice, single sweet ester, edible salt.
1. Prepare the ingredients, not photographed in the pictureCreambecause I didn't originally intend to add cream, luckily there was a little leftover, so I used it (don't waste it), and adding a little cream will make the flavor more fragrant. If you don't like it, you can just not add it.
2. Pour coconut milk and cream into a non-stick pan, heat over low heat.Sometimes when you buy coconut milk and put it in the refrigerator, it will separate into oil and water. Actually, it's okay, just put it in the pot and cook it over low heat, then the oil part will melt into the coconut milk.
3. Add 40g white sugar and 40g maltose.The picture isWhite sugarThe sugar melted too fast, I couldn't take a picture, if you don't like the taste, you can reduce it to 30g.
4. Cook white sugar and maltose over medium heat until completely dissolved, this process requires slow stirring, when the liquid starts to bubble, you can reduce the heat.
5. Continue to stir and cook, the purpose of cooking is to evaporate the water.The moisture in coconut milk is much more than that in cream, so it takes longer to evaporate.I directly cook it over low heat, just like when I used to cook taffy, which saves time.6. When cooking, you must keep stirring, to prevent burning, also to speed up the evaporation of water. When you find that the knife can draw a straight line in the middle without disappearing, it means that the sugar syrup is starting to thicken.7. The color of the sugar syrup starts to darken, because of the heat, the sugar syrup becomes more and more thick, continue stirring, when the sugar syrup can drip without disappearing, it means that it is cooked.
Turn off the fire, let the sugar syrup cool slightly.
At this time, you can use a spoon to separate, you will find that the sugar syrup contains a lot of pores. I hope the candy is smoother, so I continue to stir after turning off the fire, to remove the air from the sugar syrup.8. Quickly pack it into a piping bag and squeeze it into the desired mold. I don't haveoven
so I can't bake it to make the bottom flat, just press it with a knife, anyway, it's more like homemade.Then wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for a while, if it's cold weather, you can put it outside directly, in winter it will freeze in half an hour.9.
