Coconut Puff-Puff (Coconut Deep Fried Dough)

Coconut Puff Puff - This Deep fried "Coconutty" dough is chewy, sweet, crunchy and packed with bold flavours. I will keep saying, "Anything Coconut, count me in." Your regular puff puff but with a little twist.

Puff puff is a trendy snack in Cameroon, Ghana and Nigeria. Other countries make something similar but called differently, although the method and ingredients may differ slightly.

If you follow me on Youtube and Instagram, you will know I love being creative with pastries and snacks. I have made many coconut-related recipes but have yet to make puff puff. I made it once, and the flavour filled my home; how it tasted was heavenly. So, I decided to share it. It's a must-try recipe.
