Tropical Coconut & Mango Fudge, is a no-bake, easy-to-make dessert that combines the rich sweetness of condensed milk and jaggery with the vibrant, fruity flavor of mango and the texture of fresh coconut. It’s a simple process of heating and mixing ingredients, then chilling until firm, resulting in a delightful, tropical-inspired fudge that can be garnished with nuts.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh coconut pieces (finely grated or pulsed in a food processor)
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup condensed milk
• 1/4 cup jaggery (grated or finely chopped)
• 1/4 cup mango pulp

••Pecans or walnuts (chopped, for garnish – optional)

Instructions:

1. In a non-stick pan, combine the condensed milk and jaggery. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until the jaggery dissolves completely and the mixture thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
2. Add the grated fresh coconut pieces and coconut flour to the pan. Mix well until everything is combined and the mixture starts to come together like a dough.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the mango pulp. Mix thoroughly until the mango pulp is evenly distributed.
4. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch pan or a small loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
5. Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top if desired, gently pressing them into the fudge.
6. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
