Coconut Brigadeiro

Experience the sweet taste of Brazil with this delightful twist on the classic brigadeiro. Made with creamy coconut milk and rolled in shredded coconut, this dessert is a tropical treat perfect for any occasion.

Steps

In a small saucepan, combine cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Once slightly cooled, use your hands to form small balls (about the size of a cherry) from the mixture. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut until fully coated. Place on a plate and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up. Enjoy your delicious Coconut Brigadeiro!
