Where to find ingredients

If you cannot find desiccated coconut, freshly grated mature coconut is a fantastic traditional substitute.

- Pour the hot mixture onto a greased smooth surface, such as a marble slab or a greased baking tray.
- Level the surface evenly using a greased rolling pin if necessary.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely until it sets.
- Slice the firm cocada into squares or your preferred shapes.
