Total Time:

Quick and easy toffees that set in minutes and can last up to 10 days. Transform them into lollipops with small sticks.
Ingredients:
  • 50 g unsalted butter (cold)
  • 25 g unsweetened desiccated coconut
  • 250 g caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon glucose
Instructions:
  • Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and a large bowl of iced water nearby. Cut the butter into cubes. Toast the coconut until golden. Combine sugar and glucose with 2 tablespoons of water in a medium heavy-based pan. Attach a sugar thermometer and heat over medium heat until the sugar melts and caramelizes. Once it reaches 150ºC, remove from heat and place in the bowl of iced water to halt the cooking process. Quickly whisk in the butter until combined. If it separates, return to heat and continue to whisk until smooth. Use 2 tablespoons to drop spoonfuls of toffee onto the prepared tray. Immediately sprinkle with desiccated coconut. If making lollipops, insert sticks into the toffee discs. Let cool and harden. Store in a sealed container between layers of greaseproof paper or cellophane, and consume within 10 days.
