Where to find ingredients
You can find pastry dough, condensed milk, and grated coconut at any local supermarket in the baking or refrigerated aisles. If you cannot find ready-made massa de pastel, thin puff pastry sheets cut into circles can be used as a substitute, though the final texture will differ.
Preparation method
- Fit each pastry dough disc into the bottom and sides of small individual tart molds, with no need to grease them.
- Press the dough firmly into the molds to remove any trapped air and ensure they are well-shaped.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, condensed milk, and grated coconut until you reach a smooth, uniform cream.
- Fill the pastry-lined molds with the cocada mixture up to the rim.
- Place in a preheated oven at medium-low heat and bake until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, unmold, and serve warm or cold.
