Method
- In a pot over low heat, combine the milk, semolina, sugar, and vanilla, stirring continuously.
- Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, then add the butter and stir until well combined. Turn off the heat and add the coconut; mix well. Divide the dough into two equal parts: leave one plain and mix the other with cocoa powder.
- Leave both portions to cool completely. Once cooled, shape each type into long fingers and roll them in shredded coconut.
- Place the two colored fingers side by side and twist them together into a braided rope as shown in the accompanying photo. Cut them into small fingers and refrigerate until serving time.
