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.
