Bukayo

Bukayo is a Filipino dessert made from sweetened coconut strips. It is made by simmering strips of young, gelatinous coconut (buko) in water and then mixing with white or brown sugar. It can also be used as garnishing and fillings for other desserts. Bukayo is also spelled as bucaio, bucayo, bokayo, bukhayo, or bukayu. During the Spanish rule of the Philippines, it was known as conserua de coco ("coconut preserve") in Spanish. Dryer versions of bukayo with a crumbly texture are known as bocarillo.

Bukayo is traditionally made with sinuklob, a very sweet candy made from sugarcane brown sugar. It is the cheaper version of caramel in the Philippines. Sinuklob is made from melted brown sugar hardened into a chewy consistency.
