๐Ÿฅฅ Experience a sweet and crunchy treat with Toasted Coconut Kettle Corn, adding a tropical twist to classic kettle corn.
๐Ÿฟ This recipe combines the rich flavor of toasted coconut with the satisfying crunch of freshly popped popcorn for an irresistible snack.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 6 cups

Ingredients

– 2 tablespoons coconut oil

– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

– 1/2 cup yellow popcorn kernels

– 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

– 2 tablespoons coarsely ground toasted coconut

– 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste

Instructions

1-First, heat the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat until melted, then add the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to melt.

2-Next, add the 1/2 cup yellow popcorn kernels and evenly sprinkle the 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons coarsely ground toasted coconut over the top.

3-Cover with a tight-fitting lid and increase the heat to medium high.

4-Shake the pan a couple of times to coat the kernels with the oil, butter, sugar, and coconut.

5-Once the first kernel pops, secure the lid with pot holders over the edges, then lift and shake the pan just above the heat for a few seconds before returning it to the heat; repeat until the popping slows almost to a stop, keeping the pan moving to avoid scorching.

6-Remove the pan from the heat, carefully tilt the lid to release steam, remove the lid, and transfer the popcorn to a serving bowl.

7-Sprinkle half the 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, stir gently with a wooden spoon, then sprinkle the remaining salt. Serve immediately.

Notes

๐ŸŒด For traditional kettle corn, omit toasted coconut and use your favorite popping oil.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Toast coconut shreds or flakes in the oven or skillet to enhance flavor and texture.
๐Ÿณ Keep shaking or stirring constantly during popping to avoid burning sugar and coconut.
