Lucia Ceresini, a friend from Brasil with whose husband I worked while in grad school, graciously shared her recipe with me. When the folks from South American found out I loved coconut, I was the happy recipient of their goodies and recipes.... each and every one of them delicious. BTW - the recipe title translates to: Little Kiss of Bahia's Coconut Ingredients:
14 ounces sweetened coconut |
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk |
14 ounces granulated sugar |
3 cups coconut, to roll balls in (approximate amount) |
Directions:
1. Mix first three ingredients in a microwave-proof mixing bowl.
2. Cook on HIGH for 4 minutes.
3. Stir; cook on HIGH for additional 4 minutes.
4. Pour mixture on plain cookie sheet w/ sides; let cool slightly.
5. Make small balls out of the cooled mixture and roll in coconut.
6. NOTE: You may chill the cooked mixture and then cut into squares.
