Ingredients

    1/4 cup shredded coconut
    14 oz. can full-fat coconut milk
    2/3 cup light corn syrup
    1 tsp. coarse sea salt
    pinch ginger
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1/4 cup water

Directions

Line an 8" pan with parchment and sprinkle with the coconut.Set aside.
In a small pot warm the coconut milk, corn syrup, salt and ginger until steaming, stirring until smooth. Keep warm.
In a large pot, cook the sugar with the water, without stirring, until it registers 230F on a candy thermometer.
Stir in the hot coconut milk mixture and continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 260F.
Remove from heat and immediately pour into the lined pan.
Let set 8 hours before cutting and wrapping (depending on the heat/humidity, you may find it easiest to chill these first).
