SWEETENED CONDENSED COCO MILK
Raw Materials:
Grated coconut milk
Refined white sugar
Agar-agar or 1/4 bar gulaman
Equipment/Utensils:
Mixing bowl/basin
Measuring cup
Plastic container
Measuring spoon
Wooden spatula
Double boiler
Procedure:
Cream is extracted from the grated coconut meat by pressing. The “sapal” or residue
added with proportional amount of water is extracted once more to obtain the skim milk
(lower layer) by separating from its cream (upper layer) through gravity. One and a half
parts sugar is mixed with 1 part skim milk and the remaining cream of the second
extract is added to the first pure cream extract for purposes of producing oil. However,
if there is no intention of processing oil from the cream, sugar is dissolved into the liquid
after second extraction. The sugar mixture is cooked with continuous stirring for one
hour in a double boiler. To thicken the mixture, agar-agar or 1/4 bar gulaman is added.
The produced sweet condensed coco milk is poured in sterilized bottle and then sealed.
