1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin |
1 cup half-and-half |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.Spread coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in oven for 8-10 min until lightly brown. Set aside 2 tbsp for garnish.
2. In a small pot over medium heat cook milk,sugar stirring often until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to bubble around the edges.
3. Remove from heat and add the coconut, stir. Cover tightly and let stand 15 minutes.
4. In a large bowl sprinkle gelatin over a 1/4 cup of cold water. Let soften this will take about 5 minutes.
