Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk and sugar in any local supermarket grocery aisle. For the desiccated coconut, check the baking supplies section or the snack aisle. If you prefer a fresher texture, you can substitute the desiccated version with an equal weight of freshly grated coconut.
Preparation method
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the condensed milk, sugar, and desiccated coconut.
- Place the pot over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to pull away cleanly from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the hot mixture onto a smooth, greased surface, such as a marble countertop or a shallow baking tray.
- Level the surface with a greased rolling pin if necessary to ensure an even thickness.
- Allow the fudge to cool and set completely at room temperature.
- Slice the cocada into squares or your preferred shapes before serving.
