  • Place 2 cups coconut into a pan and heat over low heat until lightly toasted, making sure not to burn or change color, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Place unopened can of condensed milk into the middle of the pot; boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove using tongs; let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Pour into coconut and add cardamom and vanilla extract. Mix well. Let cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
