Klepon is a very popular traditional snack . This snack is made with liquid brown sugar filling and grated coconut sprinkles. Klepon is often a favorite snack at various events.
But even though it tastes delicious, klepon is a snack that goes stale easily. Usually caused by the use of grated coconut which is easily damp and susceptible to bacterial growth. In just a few hours, klepon can taste sour and unfit for consumption.
There is indeed a special trick when making klepon to make it last longer. Luckily, an Instagram user @melizah21 once shared the trick. She admitted that there is one secret that can make klepon last longer and last all day at room temperature.
So that grated coconut can make klepon last longer, this one ingredient must be processed in a dry way. More precisely, Instagram user @melizah21 chose to roast the grated coconut that will be used as a topping for klepon. The roasting process aims to evaporate the water content in the grated coconut, so that the klepon will last longer. The method is quite easy. Prepare the grated coconut first. After that, roast it in a pan without oil. Roast the grated coconut while stirring using a spatula until dry (but does not turn brown). "By roasting the coconut briefly, our klepon can last until the evening without going stale easily, not drooling, and still delicious to eat," said Instagram @melizah21.
