ZUCRE COCO -- MOROCCAN COCONUT FUDGE CAKES

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 pan or similar sized round pan with foil (as I do here as we do not have waxed paper) or waxed paper.
• In a heavy bottomed 2qt. saucepan combine coconut, evaporated milk and sugar.
• Simmer gently to soft ball stage; 238 degrees. Here we test in cold water and do not use a thermometer. The cooking time is my best guess as I have never made this using a western stove.
• Stir in the butter and lemon rind and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Beat until thick and glossy as you would for fudge but beating to glossy not until it loses it's gloss.
• Pour into prepared pan and chill 2 hours. Cut into 1/2" to 1" squares.
