2In a large pan, add the grated carrot and cook on medium heat until the moisture evaporates.
Add the shredded coconut to the pan and mix well with the carrot.
Stir in the sugar and continue to cook until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
Dissolve the corn flour in a small amount of water to make a smooth paste and add it to the carrot-coconut mixture.
Cook for a few more minutes until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
Remove the pan from heat and add the rum essence, mixing thoroughly.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then shape it into small balls or any desired shape.
Let the sweets cool completely before serving or storing.
