Where to find ingredients
All ingredients can be easily sourced from local Zambian supermarkets or market vendors. Look for canned sweetened condensed milk and high-quality desiccated coconut in the baking aisle. If needed, a light vegetable oil or butter can be used to grease your surfaces to prevent sticking.
Preparation method
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the condensed milk, sugar, and desiccated coconut.
- Place the pot over low heat, stirring constantly to ensure even cooking.
- Cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to pull away cleanly from the bottom of the pot.
- Pour the mixture onto a greased, smooth surface, such as a marble slab or a shallow baking tray.
- Level the surface with a greased rolling pin if a flatter finish is desired.
- Allow the mixture to cool and set completely at room temperature.
- Slice the cocada into squares or your preferred shape before serving.
