Anyone who loves coconut will love this easy creamy baked coconut dessert recipe!
This recipe has been adapted from Claudia Daibesâs recipe.
Mix everything and bake in the oven. Easy and very fast, perfect for those who do not know how to prepare elaborated desserts but want to impress everyone.
This Creamy baked coconut dessert recipe can also be served in individual portions, ideal for a party, or in a large ovenproof glass dish, perfect for family lunch.
This coconut dessert has a crunchy and creamy crust to be eaten with a spoon.
The fine-grated fresh coconut gives more flavour and creaminess to the coconut. It reminds the taste of quindim. Thick grated gives a crunchy texture and rustic look.
There are hundreds of âcocadasâ recipes, from the typical hard, the sweet condensed milk balls (Brazilian famous beijinhos â little kisses) to the ones which are almost the creamy texture of flan. This recipe is the creamy texture of the flan version.
What is cocada?
Cocada is a traditional coconut dessert found in many parts of Latin America. They are particularly popular in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, and Ecuador.
Made with eggs and shredded coconut, they are oven-baked but are served at room temperature to provide a chewy and soft texture.
In Brazil, cocada is traditionally originating from the northeast of the country. They are often long and thin rather than round and are sold in the streets.
My grandma used to make the best one, but unfortunately, I do not have her recipe, but I promise to share it here if I figure out a similar one.
One variation of cocada in Brazil is the “black cocada” (Portuguese: Cocada preta), made with brown sugar and slightly burnt coconut.
