Coconut Pearls

Directions

1. 1
   In a non-stick, heavy pan, heat the coconut milk and water.

6. 6
   Prepare a mix of confectioner's sugar and desiccated coconut in equal measure in a shallow dish.

   Using damp hands, shape into cherry-sized balls, dip into the sugar-coconut mix, and place into small paper muffin molds.
8. 8
