Cocada (Brazilian Coconut Sweet)

Recipe by Rita from allrecipes.com

Dessert 55 Mins.

Ingredients

20

20 servings

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
