Ingredients
- 2 pounds plain hard biscuits
- 2 fresh coconuts, grated and squeezed for cream
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar
- A little water if needed
Instructions
- Grate the coconuts and squeeze out the cream to make fresh lolo.
- Add a little water if needed so the coconut cream is rich but still pourable.
- Sweeten the lolo with sugar to taste.
- Break the biscuits into bite-sized pieces in a serving bowl.
- Pour the coconut cream over the biscuits and serve before they go soggy.
Helpful Tips
- Use sturdy plain biscuits so they soften without falling apart immediately.
- Serve as soon as the lolo is poured on for the best texture.
FAQ
Should the biscuits be fully soaked?
