Coconut Fudge Recipe 

Ingredients:

• 2.5 C Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
• 1 C Desiccated Coconut
• ½ C Sugar
• 1 can Condensed Milk
• 2 T Ground Cardamom 
• 1 C Unsalted Butter
• 1 C Roasted Unsalted Pistachios, finely chopped 

Directions:

Heat a pot over medium to low heat. Add shredded coconut, desiccated coconut, sugar, and condensed milk. Cook, stirring frequently for 20-25 minutes until the mixture has thickened. Should NOT brown! Stir in the ground cardamom and butter and remove from heat. Pour the coconut mixture into a baking dish covered with parchment paper and spread out about ½ inch thick. Top with pistachios. Press in lightly. Chill and then cut out into ½ inch pieces. 

Just for fun we cut ours with a round cookie cutter, because we could…Enjoy!
