Notes
- If using fresh coconut, one has to take care not to grate out the brown portion of the coconut so that the white color of the fudge is obtained.
- Using the freshly grated coconut will, of course, enhance the taste. However, if you want a quick and easy sweet treat in a short amount of time, frozen grated coconut is a good option as well.
- With the easy availability of frozen grated coconut these days, the process of making this sweet dish is even simpler.
