Raw carrots (600 grams) three on a fine grater. Add to it a glass (200 grams) of fine granulated sugar (you can take cane sugar) and the juice of half a lemon (or citric acid).
Put all the ingredients in a bowl or put them in a frying pan, then put them on the stove over low heat. While stirring, we wait for the liquid to evaporate.
When we see that the mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and immediately add coconut flakes (200 grams). Mix thoroughly and place in the refrigerator.
