Ingredients for Coconut Sweet Popcorn
    Main Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons Fresh shredded coconut
  • 0.5 cup Popcorn kernels
  • 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (2 tablespoons for popping and 1 tablespoon for syrup)
  • 4 tablespoons Grated panela sugar (Can substitute with piloncillo)
Instructions
    Preparation Steps
  1. Make the Popcorn

    Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels, cover the pot, and let the kernels pop, shaking the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Once the popping slows down, remove from heat and set aside.

  2. Prepare the Coconut Syrup

    In a separate pan, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and the grated panela sugar. Heat over medium-low heat until the sugar melts completely, forming a syrup. Add the shredded coconut to the syrup and toast lightly until golden and fragrant.

  3. Combine and Serve

    Pour the coconut mixture over the popped popcorn and stir well to coat evenly. Serve immediately for a crunchy, sweet treat!
