Directions

  1. Mix the grated coconut with the warm water in a large bowl. Scoop the coconut into a sheet of cheesecloth and squeeze over the bowl to express as much coconut juice as possible, repeat a few times until you feel you've gotten as much as you can from the coconut, strain into a non-stick skillet. Discard the coconut.

  2. Bring the liquid to a boil and cook until the mixture is dry, about 20 minutes, it will curdle as it dries, leaving coconut oil and the solids, which are called 'latik.'

Recipe Note

Latik is usually made from the first squeezing of freshly grated mature coconut. It is used as a topping for many Filipino desserts. For a shortcut, use canned coconut milk.
