Coconut brigadeiros (Coconut milk fudge)

Ingredients:

For the fudge:

1 cup condensed milk

1/2 cup coconut milk

2 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons light corn syrup

For the topping(its optional):

1/3 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut

                      or

1/3 cup ground pistachios

                     or

1/3 cup chocolate vermicelli or sprinkles

Method:

In a medium size heavy bottomed saucepan combine all the fudge ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat.
             

Reduce the heat to low and whisk constantly until  fudgy. When the mixture is ready it will pull together into a soft piece and may leave a browned residue at the bottom of the pan and this should take about 30-40 mins approximately.

The  candy takes a beige,caramelized colour.Slide the mixture into a bowl and let it cool in room temperature and then refrigerate it for minimum 4 hours.After that scoop out teaspoons full and roll into balls and cover it with desired toppings or leave it plain as I have done.
