Ingredients
 

  • 2 ½ cups of shredded coconut fresh or store bought
  • ¾ cup of sugar
  • 1 ½ cups of coconut water
  • ¼ cup of whole milk
  • Pinch of cinnamon powder

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients in a pot. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low.
  • Let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir often with a wooden spoon to prevent the coconut mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Using 2 spoons, drop small amounts of the mixture onto the baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • Let cool completely. Store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks

Notes

*Cocadas are good stored in a sealed container up to 1 week.
*Be sure to cool completely before serving.
