Coconut Pearls

1. 1

   In a non-stick, heavy pan, heat the coconut milk and water.

2. 2

   As the liquid comes to a boil, add the sugar and semolina. Stir well to remove any lumps.

3. 3

   Gently cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring continuously.

4. 4

   The mixture should gradually thicken to a paste, and come away from the sides of the pan.

5. 5

   After 10 minutes, remove from the heat and add the desiccated coconut. Leave to cool.

6. 6

   Prepare a mix of confectioner's sugar and desiccated coconut in equal measure in a shallow dish.

7. 7

   Using damp hands, shape into cherry-sized balls, dip into the sugar-coconut mix, and place into small paper muffin molds.

8. 8

   Store in an air-tight container in the fridge.

9. 9

   Warm slightly in the microwave just before serving.
