Hello, you lovely people. Ready for the coming weekend? Well, I always am. 🙂
Many of you might have read about that it was my mom’s Birthday on Monday, January 5th when I wrote in this post that I made coconut fudge on her birthday. And I also promised that I will soon share the recipe with you all. So here I am. My mom doesn’t like so many desserts which are very sweet in taste. Mildly sweet things are best for her. And this coconut fudge was her favorite since her childhood and it still is. No matter how full she is, but you offer her a slice of this kopra pak she just can’t say no.
Pin it to your DESSERT BOARD to SAVE IT for later!

Story of my Mom’s life:
My mom lost her Mom at very young age and my Grandpa didn’t want to get married again. So the only mother figure for my mom was her aunt, who raised her and her siblings.
Mommy used to tell us her childhood stories that she and her siblings were raised by their aunt who didn’t have any children. She was a Principal at a local school. That is why naturally she was quite strict with all of them, but also very loving at the same time.
She loved those children as her own. My mom tells that whenever her aunt made some treats for kids, she kinda used a trading system.
Aunt used to say to children that if they’d finish one chore, such as learning something, teaching others, or going out and buy some stuff, they’d get the treat.
And they all did the chores because they seriously believed that they wouldn’t get any treat if they won’t do it. It was a kind of reward for finishing things while learning discipline. Surprisingly, this trading thing always worked with them. 😉
And when I was a little child, it is the the same thing my mom tried with me and my siblings during our summer holidays. She used to say: “Come closer, I want to tell you something very good.
" And then she used to whisper that if we’d learn a particularly intriguing task by that evening then we all would go out. Sometimes this reward included going on a holiday, or an ice-cream, or a toy, or something to eat.
And you know what, this trading trick always worked with us all as well. We loved this game. It always felt like we have earned the bounty. 🙂
Recipe Legacy:
Let’s come to the kopra pak again. I have already told you that my mom loves kopra pak and her favorite kopra pak was the one which her aunt used to make.
And my mom learned that kopra pak from her aunt, and I learnt from her. I am also planning to teach this recipe to Little-A, so it’s gonna be a family recipe legacy! 🙂
Khopra pak is a Gujarati sweet. This is a very sophisticatedly and delicately flavored coconut sweet/mithai. It has intense coconut flavor and an amazing texture. This traditional sweet has a very rich nutty flavour and a seductive texture.
And I will have to warn you that this is really addictive if you are planning it ahead of time for a dinner party, so hide it in a place where no one can reach. Telling it you from my own personal experience. 🙂
This recipe calls for desiccated coconut, mawa, milk, sugar and cardamom. The key ingredient here is mawa (मावा). Mawa helps in binding the kopra pak (खोपरा पाक ) and gives it a perfect texture. Cardamom gives it a pleasant aroma. I adorned this with edible silver leaf.
You can also use edible gold or you can completely skip this part. It is only for the aesthetic value.
Similar to this kopra pak there is also this delicious peanut ladoo recipe which makes a healthy and delicious energy boosting snack or dessert.
Process:
Making Kopra pak is very simple and easy. The dessert is ready in one pan. You throw everything in a pan and cook till it gets thick and lumpy. Then transfer it into a tray. Let it rest to set. Cut. Enjoy. Isn’t it super simple, easy and mess-free!
If you love anything coconut, then this recipe is for you.
This fudge also makes a great festive dessert. Usually, this is served as a mithai (indian sweet) during on Indian festivals like Diwali, Holi, rakhi, and bhaidooj. This also makes a wonderful holiday gift.
Love Indian dessert? Then might also like these sweets: almond flour cookies, Badam Burfi, 3 Ingredient Almond Flour Cookies, and Coconut Burfi Roll, Chocolate Burfi, badam ladoo.
Storage:
Kopra Pak can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days at room temperature or keep it in in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
I have used Mawa to make Kopra Pak. To learn, how to make Mawa, please see this detailed mawa recipe.
