- 1. Place the diced coconut in a thick-bottomed pan and just cover it with water.
- 2. Simmer until the coconut softens, which may take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, adding more water if necessary.
- 3. Gradually stir in the brown sugar, mixing continuously until the mixture thickens and forms a firm ball when tested with a spoon.
- 4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto greased paper, foil, or banana leaves to shape them into individual grater cakes.
- 5. Allow the grater cakes to set until they firm up completely.
Your homemade grater cakes are now ready to be enjoyed as a delightful, sweet treat!
