Ingredients
3 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
1 can condensed milk
1 large grated coconut
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
1 can condensed milk
1 large grated coconut
Where to find ingredients
Eggs, butter, and milk are readily available at any local supermarket or dairy shop. Condensed milk is a staple found in the tinned goods aisle of most grocery stores. For the coconut, you can usually find fresh coconuts in the fresh produce section of larger markets; otherwise, look for high-quality unsweetened desiccated coconut in the baking aisle if you are short on time, though fresh grated coconut provides the best texture.
Preparation method
- In your blender, combine the eggs, butter, milk, condensed milk, and grated coconut
- Blitz all the ingredients together until you have a smooth, well-combined mixture
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish or oven-proof tin
- Pop it into an oven preheated to 180°C
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cocada feels firm to the touch

Cocada de forno is a classic Brazilian treat, loved for its signature creamy texture and the deep, sweet flavour of fresh coconut. It is an incredibly practical and fuss-free option for those times you want a proper homemade dessert without spending hours in the kitchen—just the thing to round off a meal or satisfy a sweet craving.
Making this at home is surprisingly straightforward, relying on pantry staples you likely already have on hand. The combination of grated coconut with a rich base of condensed milk and eggs results in a soft, satisfying bake with an irresistible aroma that fills the house as it sets in the oven.
