East Indian Coconut Fudge - Coconut Cordial Christmas Sweet

Coconut Cordial sweet or coconut fudge is an East-Indian specialty made during Christmas. Packed with coconut flavor and a little cashew nuts this is a very addictive dessert. I highly recommend making more than you think you need.

If you love coconut you will love this recipe. It does involve some effort to stir the coconut and sugar over low heat until you have a thick mass which can then be cut into shapes. A word of caution - make sure you use a spoon or spatula with a long handle because as with all fudge this one has a lot of splattering.

Indian Guava Cheese - Guava Fudge
Guava cheese is like a fudge made with fresh guava and sugar. Also, know as 'Perad' in Konkani. Fresh guava is very high in pectin which works wonderfully to make guava fudge, jams, and jellies naturally. Because it becomes firmer than jelly it is often referred to as cheese rather than fudge or jelly.

    Hi Veena, how many days in advance can I prepare it and how can I store it till Christmas time?

      Priya, Fresh coconut sweets are perishable. These will not stay for more than a week. These are usually the last Christmas sweets made in our home because they don't last long.
