Ingredients
🍚 2 cups granulated sugar
💧 200 ml water
🍶 3 tablespoons white vinegar
🥥 2 cups shredded coconut
🥛 ½ box Piraquê condensed milk
Instructions
1- Prepare the Caramel:
- In your Panela Fortaleza cooking pot, combine 2 cups of granulated sugar, 200 ml of water, and 3 tablespoons of white vinegar. Stir gently to blend.
2- Cook the Caramel:
- Place the pot on an induction cooktop and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Allow it to caramelize undisturbed until it achieves a rich, golden-brown color, also known as "guaraná" color.
3- Add Coconut:
- Lower the heat to prevent burning.
- Introduce 2 cups of shredded coconut to the caramel, stirring with the wooden-handled spatula until thoroughly mixed and thickened.
4- Incorporate Condensed Milk:
- Pour in ½ box of Piraquê condensed milk.
- Stir continuously over low heat until the mixture becomes creamy and detaches from the pot's bottom.
5- Shaping the Cocadas:
- Turn off the heat but keep stirring to achieve the perfect consistency with the residual pot heat.
- Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and place them onto a baking paper-lined tray, forming desired shapes.
6- Set and Serve:
- Allow the cocadas to cool completely and set before serving.
- Enjoy these sweet delights as a flavorful treat!
