100 g shredded coconut
1 egg yolk
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Where to find ingredients
You can find pastry sheets (massa de pastel) in the freezer section of major Singaporean supermarkets like FairPrice or Cold Storage; look for brands carrying frozen wrappers. Shredded coconut and canned condensed milk are available in the baking aisle. If you cannot find specific pastry wrappers, a high-quality frozen puff pastry cut into circles can serve as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Fit each pastry disc into the base and up the sides of individual tartlet tins; there is no need to grease them.
- Press the dough firmly against the sides to remove any air pockets and ensure they are well-molded.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, condensed milk, and shredded coconut until you achieve a smooth, uniform cream.
- Fill the pastry shells with the cocada mixture up to the rim.
- Place in a preheated oven at a medium-to-low temperature and bake until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, unmold, and serve warm or cold.
