| What kind of "shredded coconut" should I use for mochi? |
 |
 |
Mabelle ~ I really want to try the coconut mochi
#2 recipe but I'm confused on the shredded coconut.
It says 1 can of shredded
coconut (angel flakes). Is this the dry bakers coconut or the wet one that's in
a jar?? Can I use frozen shredded coconut? I just want to make sure I do it
correctly.
You can use pretty much any kind
of flaked coconut you can find (shredded coconut in a bag, can, fresh or frozen
shredded coconut). Since the coconut is added into the mixture rather than
sprinkled on top of it (in which case you want to toast the shredded coconut),
use it out of the package or can without toasting it. If you're using frozen
shredded coconut, though, make sure you thaw it out first and then pat it down
with paper towels to sop up any extra liquid before adding it to the
mixture.
