Ingredients
3 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
1 tin condensed milk
1 large grated coconut
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
1 tin condensed milk
1 large grated coconut
Where to find ingredients
Eggs, butter, and milk are readily available at any local dukas or major supermarket chains like Naivas, Carrefour, or QuickMart. For condensed milk, look in the baking aisle or the long-life milk section of any grocery store. For the grated coconut, you can easily find fresh coconuts at local markets (soko); simply crack the shell and grate the white flesh yourself for the best flavour. If you are in a rush, some well-stocked supermarkets carry desiccated coconut in the baking aisle, though fresh is traditional for this recipe.
Preparation method
- In a blender, add the eggs, butter, milk, condensed milk, and grated coconut
- Blitz all the ingredients until you have a smooth, well-combined mixture
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish or tray
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the top is golden and the cocada feels firm
