How to cook deliciously - Cocada (Brazilian Coconut Sweet)

1 . Stage

Combine condensed milk, sugar, coconut, and vanilla extract in a large saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes a little darker. If you find that the cocada is cooking too quickly, reduce heat to low and continue stirring.

2 . Stage

Once the mixture has thickened enough and feels heavy on the spoon, remove from heat and place spoonfuls on a piece of parchment paper.

3 . Stage

Let cool for about 30 minutes (cocada will harden a bit) and transfer to a sealed container.
