1 packet passion fruit flavored drink mix
1 cup (240 ml) water
3 cups (600 g) sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 egg yolk
300 g shredded coconut

Where to find ingredients

The passion fruit flavored drink mix can typically be found in the international or beverage aisle of larger supermarkets, or specifically in Latin or international food stores.

Shredded coconut and coconut flakes are widely available in the baking or international aisle of most supermarkets. Unsweetened shredded coconut is common, but sweetened varieties can also be used, adjusting sugar if necessary.

Corn syrup is usually found in the baking aisle of supermarkets. If unavailable, a simple syrup made by boiling equal parts sugar and water until dissolved can be used as a substitute in many recipes, though it may slightly alter the final texture.

Eggs are a staple and available in the dairy or refrigerated section of all grocery stores.

Water is readily available from your tap.

  3. Bring the mixture to medium heat and let it boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly
  5. Incorporate the egg yolk, shredded coconut, and coconut flakes into the mixture
  6. Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan
  7. Pour the batter onto a greased baking sheet or aluminum pan
  8. Let it cool completely
  9. Cut the cocadinha into diamond or square shapes
