- 2Add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and 2/3 cup of sweetened coconut flakes to the saucepan.

- 4Take the mixture off the heat, put it in a separate bowl, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator until cooled.

- 7Bring the sugar mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until it turns amber in color. Then, take it off the heat.
