I don't like staying in the kitchen for hours after cooking the main course making dessert, so I prefer simple desserts for entertaining. These Sweet Condensed Milk Bars or Cocadas de Lechera are the perfect dessert for entertaining.
I wish you all a happy Pascua (Easter) with your families and friends. Hope you enjoy the warm, spring days a head. Have fun with the egg hunts!

Sweetened shredded coconut, correct?
Erica Dinho
Yes, but you can use unsweetened if you prefer.

Thanks! Trying sweetened first. Probably the way to go since you’re not adding sugar, but just curious since condensed milk is pretty sweet.
