Cocada is a popular street food sold everywhere in Brazil. It’s a sweet made with grated fresh coconut. There are many variations, this one with a hint of vanilla is one of them. Use the tin of condensed milk for measuring the sugar, as well.
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Once the mixture has thickened enough and feels heavy on the spoon, remove from heat and place spoonfuls on a piece of parchment paper.
Step 3
Let cool for about 30 minutes (cocada will harden a bit) and transfer to a sealed container.
Cook’s Notes:
You can substitute desiccated coconut, if fresh coconut is not available.
