Where to find ingredients
Look for the coconut, condensed milk, margarine, eggs, and milk in the dairy aisle and fresh produce section of supermarkets, or at neighbourhood grocers and open markets. If needed, use coconut milk as a substitute for the milk, but keep the original ingredient as the ideal choice.

- Stir constantly 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, whisk the egg yolks into the milk
- Stir the egg-and-milk mixture into the sweet off the heat, folding gently
- Grease a baking dish with margarine
- Pour the cocada mixture into the greased baking dish
- Bake in a preheated low oven for about 20 minutes
- Watch carefully so the edges of the cocada do not burn while baking
