Step by step for a dessert with a perfect texture
1. Prepare the base caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, place 100g of sugar and stir constantly until completely melted. When it reaches a uniform golden color, add a teaspoon of butter and mix until combined. The aroma will be spectacular.
Add 40g of shredded coconut to the sugar and butter mixture. Stir constantly to prevent burning. You want a lightly toasted coconut completely coated in caramel.
3. Add the cream
Pour in 200g of cream and continue mixing. You’ll see how the texture becomes creamy and thick. This step is essential, as it gives it that velvety touch that makes this dessert so special.

Once it’s firm, cover the surface with the coconut and caramel mixture you prepared at the beginning. This contrasting layers create a delicious combination of creaminess and slightly crunchy texture.
