How to Make Campfire Coconut Macaroon Cake

  1. Preheat your campfire for medium heat coals.
  2. Using a bread knife, trim the crusts off one loaf (approximately 1 pound) of dense bread.
  3. Cut the bread into approximately 2-inch cubes (you should have about 20-24 cubes).
  4. Pour one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk into a shallow dish.
  5. Place 2 cups of shredded sweetened coconut into a separate shallow dish.
  6. Dip each bread cube into the sweetened condensed milk, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. Thoroughly coat each cube in the shredded coconut, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Thread each coconut-covered bread cube onto a long metal skewer or a sharpened, sturdy stick.
  9. Carefully hold the skewers over the hot coals, rotating slowly and frequently for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the coconut is golden brown and the bread is heated through. Maintain a safe distance from the flames to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from skewers, let cool slightly (the sugars can be very hot!), and enjoy your delicious Campfire Coconut Macaroon Cake!
