- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, condensed milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and graham cracker crumbs. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Notes
Tip: For a deeper coconut aroma, toast the shredded coconut before mixing. Use a hot, dry knife for clean cuts.
