Ingredients
2 cups milk
3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
5 large eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
100 g shredded coconut
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
5 large eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
100 g shredded coconut
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Where to find ingredients
Milk, eggs, sugar, butter, and all-purpose flour are standard staples found in any local grocery store. For the shredded coconut, check the baking aisle; unsweetened or lightly sweetened works well. Parmesan cheese can be found in the dairy or deli section, preferably a block to grate yourself for better texture. If you are outside Brazil, visit a Latin or international grocer to find high-quality shredded coconut if your local supermarket options are limited.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, sugar, milk, melted butter, grated Parmesan, and shredded coconut
- Pulse or blend until the mixture is completely smooth
- Add the flour and blend just enough to incorporate it into the batter, being careful not to overmix
- Pour the mixture into a greased and lightly floured baking dish
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center feels set to the touch
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool down slightly before serving
