ZUCRE COCO -- MOROCCAN COCONUT FUDGE CAKES

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 pan or similar sized round pan with foil (as I do here as we do not have waxed paper) or waxed paper.
• In a heavy bottomed 2qt. saucepan combine coconut, evaporated milk and sugar.
• Simmer gently to soft ball stage; 238 degrees. Here we test in cold water and do not use a thermometer. The cooking time is my best guess as I have never made this using a western stove.
• Stir in the butter and lemon rind and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Beat until thick and glossy as you would for fudge but beating to glossy not until it loses it's gloss.
• Pour into prepared pan and chill 2 hours. Cut into 1/2" to 1" squares.

MOROCCAN COCONUT TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Mix the condensed milk and dried coconut flakes together. Check to see if you can make a ball with the mixture. If not, add some more coconut flakes. Mix again and set aside for 15 minutes to firm up.
• With your hands, make balls and then insert a roasted almond (or walnut or hazelnut) into the center of the ball. Pat over where the nut was inserted.
• Gently roll in a bowl of coconut to coat.
• Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. These are served cold.

MOROCCAN COCONUT FUDGE-ZUCRE COCO

• Combine coconut, condensed milk, and sugar in a large sauce pan. Gently simmer until it reaches the "soft ball stage" which is 235F-245°F.
• When the mixture is the right temperature stir in the butter and lemon rind. Allow to cool to room temperature and then beat the mixture until it is thick and glossy. Pour into the pan lined with foil and chill. Once it is chilled, cut into small squares.
