1 (400g) can sweetened condensed milk
400 g desiccated coconut
The preparation is not only easy, but also quick:
Preheat the oven to 180 °C top/bottom heat.
Mix the condensed milk and desiccated coconut in a bowl until a smooth, firm dough forms.
Using a teaspoon, place small heaps of dough onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake the cocadas in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, until the outside is firm but not browned.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Zack – done!
Simple Tasty Tip:
If you like, add a little vanilla extract or rum flavor to the Cocadas mixture before baking.
