Coconut Cheese / Fudge || Caribbean Sweet Treat

Welcome Back To My Kitchen !! And today we are making some Coconut Cheese
Coconut cheese is one of our favourite sweet treats on the islands and I decided to try and make it so sharing with you all how I got it done.
I came across this recipe online and not sure if this is how it is generally made on my island but I am definitely going to keep trying this because I still think it could have come out so much so much better hahaha
But for now, here is what you will need in order to make this sweet and delicious treat
Hope you enjoy and Happy Cooking !!
Ingredients List:
2 cups fresh coconut milk
1 cup light brown sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cinnamon
1 tsp ginger (or 2 if you like ginger)
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla essence
The beating takes at least twenty to twenty-five minutes so monitor closely and remember just keep beating haha

[@Angelina-jq8ft]

Im gonna try it, always wanted to know how to go about making coconut cheese. Thanks

[@acaribbeanStories]

My recipe is similar. The only thing I don’t add is the butter. It is a lot of stirring. I make different flavors and sell them locally and online. Love this video

[@JOANNESKITCHEN2021]

Sounds great!

[@nadinem599]

Hihi Website? Or do you only sell in D\ca?

[@Cuz789]

I just tried this recipe today and I'm very happy with the results. It would have been nice to know the details of the heat level. I guessed at high heat and that seemed to have been it. Will surprise my mother with these. I do also have a question, why vanilla essence and not extract? Essence is synthetic and almost never has any of what makes vanilla, vanilla. I substituted extract instead of essence. Thank you for posting this how to.

[@JOANNESKITCHEN2021]

The essence was available at the time but the extract will for sure be better 🍴

@@JOANNESKITCHEN2021 Hi, I tried this again two different times and feel as if I did everything the same but it did harden either time. Do you have any pointers?

[@kerwanatoussaint5741]

All that mixing can you use a hand mixer instead?

[@JOANNESKITCHEN2021]

It's normally done by hand so not sure how well it would work with a mixer

[@kerwanatoussaint5741]

@@JOANNESKITCHEN2021 ok thanks much....... Just subbed btw 😊

[@corinneburgins3647]

I added peanut butter instead of butter and left out the condensed. milk

[@kkgodsent4431]

Does it matter if the butter is salted or not?

[@JOANNESKITCHEN2021]

No it doesn't

[@mr1m020]

Never knew it could be so simple to make! Can you use canned coconut milk for this as well?

[@JOANNESKITCHEN2021]

Yes, absolutely

[@tianiadegrasse4994]

Is there a dairy-free option I can use to substitute for condensed milk?

[@Cuz789]

Hi. They make sweetened condensed coconut milk. If you want to cut the sugar you can also try coconut cream.

[@JOANNESKITCHEN2021]

Coconut condensed milk should work

[@tianiadegrasse4994]

Thank you both!

[@lyrislawrence8095]

Yes,you can use coconut condensed milk.
