1 cup milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 large grated coconut
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Where to find ingredients
Find eggs, butter, and milk at local grocery stores and markets. Sweetened condensed milk and fresh coconuts are widely available at supermarkets; as a substitute for fresh coconut, high-quality desiccated coconut can be used, though fresh is ideal for the original texture.
Preparation method
- In a blender, add the eggs, butter, milk, sweetened condensed milk, and grated coconut.
- Blend all ingredients until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish or mold.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the surface is golden brown and the dessert is firm.
