Bonbon Coco
Malagasy coconut sweets with milk, sugar and vanilla.
About Bonbon Coco
La cuisine Malgache presents bonbon coco as a sweet sold along Madagascar’s coast and at small stalls in Antananarivo. This home version uses fresh grated coconut, milk, sugar and vanilla pods.
Coconut and vanilla lead the flavour, with sugar providing sweetness and milk contributing a dairy element. The source pairs the sweets with hot chocolate, whose exact recipe is not supplied.
The coconut mixture becomes thick enough to leave the pot and hold spoon-shaped portions. The individual sweets cool on a tray or baking paper before eating; their final serving-temperature category is not specified.
