DIWALI : COCONUT MILK FUDGE

“ This is a fairly ancient Gujarati sweet which is perfect for Diwali . Traditionally it ’ s made using fresh coconut and milk which has been reduced for hours but as coconut trees don ’ t readily grow here and there ’ s no need to spend hours reducing your own milk , I make these with desiccated coconut and condensed milk – two readily available storecupboard ingredients .
What ’ s even more satisfying is that the fudge can be made within minutes ( depending on your ball-rolling skills ) and look impressive , so they will stand you in good stead for last-minute dinners , bring-a-thing-to-work days , picnics , bribes and village fete offerings .” -Author , Meera Sodha
