How To Make Latik With Coconut Milk
Make latik (crispy coconut curds) with a can of coconut milk. The great thing about this recipe is that you bet both latik and coconut oil!
Equipment
- Shallow Pan
- Strainer
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 13.5 oz Can Coconut Milk
Instructions
- Pour the can of coconut milk into a shallow pan.
- With the heat on medium high bring up the coconut milk to a running boil. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Once it has come up to a boil, turn the heat down to medium and let it boil for a further 14 minutes. Stir it occasionally.After about 18 minutes you can see that the coconut fat is starting to separate. This is when you will grab a bowl and put a strainer over it, so you are ready to strain it when ready.
- At the 20 minute mark you can start to see the formation of latik. This is when you have to keep watching it so it doesn't get over cooked as at the 23 minute mark it really starts to get brown.
- At the 24 minute mark the Latik is now golden and crispy. Turn of the heat at this point so that it doesn't burn. Pour it through the strainer to separate the crispy curds from the coconut oil.
- Cook both the Latik and coconut oil to room temperature and store in separate glass jars.
