Kopra pak recipe | coconut barfi recipe | how to make kopra pak

Kopra pak or coconut burfi is a popular Gujarati sweet. It is easy to make and requires only 3 ingredients to make at home. To make this coconut burfi recipe more interesting, I have made them into two layers. You can make single-layered white burfi with this recipe, but the green layer makes the burfi more interesting and fun. With all available ingredients in your kitchen, it is prepared within minutes for any occasion and celebration. Do try this!

The key to making halwai-style kopra pak at home are
  • I used desiccated coconut, but you can use fresh coconut instead of it.
  • I made kopra pak without adding mawa, milk powder, and condensed milk. But you can use mawa or milk powder to make it richer in flavor.
  • lastly, kopra pak easily lasts for weeks in the refrigerator if stored in a dry air container.
