Part 4/6:
Once the coconut is mixed in, we turn our attention to the stove. With the heat set low, the coconut mixture is added to a saucepan. Keeping the heat gentle ensures that the sugar dissolves fully without burning. After a few minutes of mixing, when the mixture becomes warm, a bit of flour is incorporated to help bind everything together.
After about four to five minutes of cooking, the mixture thickens, and it’s time to remove it from the heat. Allow it to cool for at least ten minutes before transferring it to a piping bag for the next step.
