Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk and shredded coconut in the baking aisle of any local supermarket in Nassau or throughout the islands. If you cannot find pre-shredded dry coconut, you can substitute with freshly grated coconut, though you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly to reach the correct consistency.
Preparation method
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the condensed milk, sugar, and shredded coconut.
- Place the pan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the mixture onto a greased, smooth surface, such as a marble slab or a shallow baking pan.
- Level the surface with a greased rolling pin if needed to ensure an even thickness.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature.
- Once firm, slice the cocada into squares or your preferred shapes.
