This paste can be used as filling for cakes, pancakes, buns, dumplings, etc. This recipe requires same weight of Desiccated Coconut and Sugar, and that’s easy to remember, but you can easily alter the amount of Sugar to suit your taste. The recipe is versatile, and you can use Brown Sugar OR add some finely chopped roasted Nuts such as Cashew OR Pistachio.
