Ingredients
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.
