Ingredients
2 small grated coconuts or 1 large grated coconut
2 cans condensed milk
1 tablespoon margarine
8 egg yolks
1/2 cup cow's milk
2 cans condensed milk
1 tablespoon margarine
8 egg yolks
1/2 cup cow's milk
Where to find ingredients
Grated coconut can be found in the baking or international aisle of most supermarkets. Look for fresh coconuts in the produce section of larger supermarkets or specialty markets. Condensed milk and margarine are widely available in the dairy or baking aisles of any grocery store. Eggs and cow's milk are standard items found in the dairy section. For a more authentic Brazilian flavor, visit Latin or Brazilian specialty stores for pre-shredded coconut specifically for sweets, though standard unsweetened grated coconut will work well.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, combine condensed milk and margarine over low heat
- Stir continuously until the mixture starts to pull away from the bottom of the pan
- Add the grated coconut to the pan and mix well
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the egg yolks in the milk
- Incorporate the egg yolk and milk mixture into the sweet mixture, off the heat, stirring gently
- Grease a baking dish with margarine
- Pour the cocada batter into the greased baking dish
- Bake in a preheated oven at low temperature for approximately 20 minutes
- Be careful not to burn the edges of the cocada during baking

The preparation is relatively simple but requires attention to detail to achieve the perfect consistency. The main ingredients are coconut, condensed milk, and a touch of fat, which together create a rich and flavorful base. The final baking in the oven enhances the flavors and gives this delicacy its desired texture.
