Baba dudu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baba dudu is a coconut candy that translates to black or dark old man in Yoruba.[1][2] It is also called sweet alagbon, meaning sweet coconut. It is made from coconut milk or cream and sugar.[3] The ingredients are mixed and cooked till they change colour. When it is dark brown, it is taken off the heat. It is left to cool down a bit then rolled into shapes and sizes before it hardens. Sometimes salt is added in the recipe.[4] They are among the culturally significant snacks in Yoruba cuisine and in Nigeria.[5]
