Directions

  1. Before you begin, reduce the 500g of whole milk until it thickens into a custard-like consistency, then set it aside.
  2. Peel the palm fruits and rub them in a woven basket to extract the juice. Then, filter the juice thoroughly through a fine sieve. ≈ 8 min
  3. Heat the filtered juice in a saucepan over low heat.
  4. Once you have reduced and thickened the mixture, add half of the coconut and the powdered sugar, then stir constantly to prevent sticking.
  5. Once the sugar has melted and the mixture has thickened again, add the liquid milk and the remaining coconut, then mix well.
  6. Keep the heat low throughout the entire cooking process.
  7. Once the kheer has reached the desired thickness, turn off the heat, then add the reserved khoya and a little coconut for mixing. ≈ 4 min
