Koulenje 🌴

Método

1. 1

   Snip the dates open and slide out any stones; halve fat ones so they melt evenly.

2. 2

   Pour in the coconut cream and bring the pan to a gentle bubble over low heat.

3. 3

   Steadily stir in the sugar and salt while the cream shrinks into the fruit.

4. 4

   Keep stirring — the mix thickens, darkens and starts to pull away from the pan, about 20–25 minutes.

5. 5

   Spread into a shallow tray, scatter coconut shavings, and cool until sliceable.

6. 6

   Serve in squares with strong Lao coffee; it keeps a week in the fridge.
