HOW TO MAKE BABA DUDU SWEET

Baba dudu is a dark brown rock hard candy made with coconut milk and sugar then wrapped in transparent nylons and made into strings. It's got a sweet bitter taste but really addictive.

Things needed:

• 1 small sauce pan

• 1 small Pot

• A wooden spatula/whisk for mixing

• 2 Transparent nylons

Ingredients

 5-10 servings

1 cup sugar

3 medium sized coconuts

Pinch of salt

Procedures:

Step 1

First you need to crack open the coconuts and remove the flesh from the shell

Step 2

Then blend the coconut flesh smooth with some water

Step 3

Use a cheese cloth or sieve to sieve out the coconut juice into a bowl

Step 4

You need just the coconut milk and not the water. So to extract the milk, what i do is place the bowl of juice in the freezer to solidify. Then i remove the top which is now mainly the coconut milk. As the water would have settled underneath.

Step 5

Place the coconut milk in a pot and add the pinch of salt. 

Step 6

Add the sugar. 

Step 7    

Then place on low heat and start stirring with a wooden spatula. Do not leave it unattended as it can overflow and make a mess. So you have to continually stir.

Step 8

Continue stirring until it all begins to thicken and changes in color

Step 9

Keep stirring until the oil starts to come out and scoop out the oil. Then stir until it changes to a very dark thick brown color

Step 10

Scoop out more oil and pour on a clean slab, and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Then start cutting and rolling inbetween your palms and leave to cool on the slab. Be very careful as it is usually very hot and dangerous.

Step 12

Tie in prepared nylon wraps when completely cold.
