About Coconut Nougat (Nougat Koko)
The Creole Melting Pot's nouga koko fannen is a Seychellois coconut sweet formed into loose little heaps. Fresh, coarsely grated coconut gives the candy its texture, with white sugar holding the clusters together.
Orange zest, vanilla essence and nutmeg flavour the cooked coconut mixture. Food colouring is optional; the source describes both brightly coloured traditional sweets and the cook's preference for their natural colour.
The warm mixture is spooned onto banana leaf and left to harden as it cools. The finished clusters cool completely before serving.
