Coconut Rough - keeping it simple page 158

[Olga]

This was the first thing I tried in the book.  Shows you I have a sweet tooth.  I just love coconut rough!

If you are looking for the traditional coconut rough taste, this recipe will disappoint as it is not sweet (only 20 g sugar).  It had a "dry" not creamy texture.  Perhaps more sugar or use sweet cocoa/chocolate?  A dab of butter?

I was amazed how the dry ingredients converted to a "melted" mixture!  Yes, the bowl did get warm.  

I think I like the traditional - the sweet tooth thing  

I will try again and perhaps try the other variations on the recipe.

Easy and quick recipe.

I made 1/2 quantity of this recipe to use up some shredded coconut.  I have to agree with Olga, this was very disappointing and not something I would do again.  I had a few pieces to see if the taste grew on me but then decided it wasn't improving.  Sorry Tenina, traditional recipe for me too.

Must have been disappointing Judy.Can you use in another recipe?

I can't think of anything to do with it Denise but now you've asked the question I have an idea. Could try it dissolved in hot milk perhaps and see how it tastes.

OK, been off and done it.  Heated 4 pieces in milk in the TMX then whipped.  Quite acceptable, tastes quite nice actually and now I won't have to throw it out.  Thanks for making me think outside the square. Xx
