Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk and white sugar can be found in the baking or tinned goods aisle of any local supermarket or provision shop. Desiccated coconut is readily available in the baking section; look for unsweetened options if you prefer a less sugary end result. For an authentic flavour, you may occasionally find desiccated coconut specifically labelled for tropical sweets in larger specialty food markets in Freetown.
Preparation method
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, stir together the condensed milk, sugar, and desiccated coconut
- Place over low heat, stirring continuously
- Cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to pull away from the bottom of the pot
- Pour the mixture onto a smooth, greased surface, such as a marble slab or a flat baking tray
- Level the surface with a greased rolling pin if necessary
- Allow it to cool completely until set
- Slice the cocada into squares or your preferred shape
