How to Make Sweetened Coconut Flakes
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add 4 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut to the saucepan.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir continuously until all the water is absorbed by the coconut (about 5-7 minutes). The mixture will thicken.
- Remove from heat and spread the sweetened coconut flakes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Allow the coconut to cool and dry completely (about 3-5 minutes). For extra crispy flakes, you can spread it thinly and leave it to air dry for longer.
- Once completely cool and dry, break up any large clumps into smaller flakes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
