Ingredients
- 14 oz. panela
- 8 oz. coconut meat , freshly grated
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup milk
- ½ lemon , squeezed
Instructions
- Pour the water and panela into a non-stick pan.
- Cook over low-medium heat until the panela has melted completely. The result will be a kind of caramel with a semi-liquid texture.
- Then add the coconut and stir.
- Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly so that the coconut is hydrated with the panela syrup.
- After 5 minutes, or when the coconut has absorbed the syrup, gradually incorporate the milk and lemon juice.
- Stir well and increase the heat.
- Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture changes color and turns brown.
- Form small rocks or pebbles with two spoons and place them on a sheet lined with greased parchment paper.
- Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Then refrigerate for about an hour until the cocadas are compact.
Notes
- If, after refrigeration, the cocadas are not compact, heat the mixture again and cook a little more.
