Coconut Drops recipe in Trinidad and Tobago for Sweet TnT Magazine

Coconut Drops recipe for childhood memories

Coconut Drops, the miniature version of Coconut Sweetbread, has always been a favourite locally. Basically using the same ingredients of Coconut Sweetbread, you get a handy homemade snack that is completely different from its larger version. Just like Coconut Sweetbread, it played an important role in our childhood in the Caribbean. See our Coconut Sweetbread recipe here: Granny’s homemade Coconut Sweetbread
