Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons coconut rum extract (or non-alcoholic alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Additional
- Extra shredded coconut for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Your Pan: Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to ensure the squares can be easily removed once set.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup of melted butter, 2 teaspoons of coconut rum extract, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in 2 cups of shredded coconut and 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly until the batter is thick and sticky.
- Spread in Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula and pressing down gently to compact the batter.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut into squares.
- Cut into Squares: Remove from the refrigerator, lift the set mixture out using the parchment paper if used, and cut into small squares or bars to desired size.
- Dust with Coconut: Optionally, roll or sprinkle the squares with additional shredded coconut for a decorative and flavorful finish.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut rum extract with vanilla extract for a milder flavor.
- Ensure the butter is melted but not hot to avoid melting the powdered sugar prematurely.
- Use sweetened shredded coconut for a richer taste, or unsweetened if preferred to reduce sugar content.
- Store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- If the mixture is too soft after chilling, extend refrigeration time to ensure firm squares.
