Time 55m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 can sugar (use sweetened condensed milk can as measure)
3 cups grated fresh coconut
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine condensed milk, sugar, coconut, and vanilla extract in a large saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes a little darker. If you find that the cocada is cooking too quickly, reduce heat to low and continue stirring.
  • Once the mixture has thickened enough and feels heavy on the spoon, remove from heat and place spoonfuls on a piece of parchment paper.
  • Let cool for about 30 minutes (cocada will harden a bit) and transfer to a sealed container.

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk and cream for a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have access to fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk instead. Be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best results.
  • If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Then, add 1 cup of milk and stir until combined.
  • Don't overcook the cocada. When it is done, it will be thick and set, but it should still be slightly jiggly in the center.
