Mứt dừa sữa tươi – Candied coconut in fresh milk |
So Tet is drawing near, how is preparation going? Today I will show you how to make a simple and very delicious fruit snack that you can prepare and amaze your guests for the new year holiday: candied coconut in fresh milk.
Video:
Ingredients: 1kg of young fresh coconut. (You can use a peeler to slice the coconut into long thin strips. Here I bought the pre-peeled coconut strips at Ong Ich Khiem St in Da Nang) 600g sugar 250ml of fresh milk. (Ratio: 10 coconut : 6 sugar : 2.5 milk) Directions: In a big pot (pot has to be completely dry), add in the 3 ingredients one by one and mix them. Put the pot over medium heat and mix them gently. We will need about an hour to get the final product. In the first 30 mins, just stir and mix them every 2-3 minutes. I know this is quite a long and boring process, but just keep an eye on them Ok, don’t fall asleep or go check your facebook like what I did last year, if you don’t want burnt coconut. After 30 mins: the coconut should have a lightly yellowish color. Turn to low heat. Keep separating them every now and then so they don’t get stick to each other. After 50 mins: turn heat to lowest level as the milk liquid have thickened and thus will get burnt very easily. After 1 hour+: Turn off stove when the coconut is completely dry. Although coconut may have a light gold color now, it will gradually turn to a cream off-white color after cooling down. The final product should have an off white color and a mildly sweet and rich taste. Store them in glass containers for the coming holiday. |
This dish is quite simple to make, but looks sophisticated and most importantly, very delicious.
CÁCH LÀM MỨT DỪA SỮA TƯƠI Nguyên liệu 1kg dừa tươi non. Dùng dao nạo dừa thành sợi hoặc mua sợi dừa làm sẵn ở đường Ông Ích Khiêm Đà Nẵng (khu chợ Tam giác) 600g đường cát 250ml sữa tươi (Tỉ lệ: 10 dừa 6 đường 2.5 sữa) Đổ dừa, đường và sữa vào 1 nồi to (nồi phải thật khô), trộn đều. Bắc nồi lên bếp, để lửa vừa, trộn đều. Mất khoảng 1 tiếng để cho ra sản phẩm cuối cùng. Trong 30 phút đầu, để lừa vừa, cứ mỗi 2-3 phút thì trộn đều dừa một lần. Sau 30 phút dừa bắt đầu chuyển màu hơi hơi vàng. Vặn lửa nhỏ, liên tục trộn đều và tách sợi dừa ra không để dính vào nhau. Sau 50 phút vặn lửa rất nhỏ vì sữa lúc này đã cô đặc và bám vào dừa nên rất dễ cháy. Sau 1 tiếng hoặc hơn, đến khi nào thấy dừa đã khô hoàn toàn thì tắt lửa. Mặc dù lúc này dừa có màu hơn vàng nhưng để nguội một lúc sẽ chuyển sang màu trắng kem rất đẹp. Sản phẩm cuối cùng có màu trắng kem và vị ngọt thanh thanh béo béo của đường và sữa. Có thể cất trong hộp thủy tinh ăn dần hoặc đãi khách ngày Tết ^^ |
