Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon butter, plus more for pan
¼ cup sweetened flaked coconut

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beijinho de coco turned out really crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These beijinho de coco were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit more milk next time.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond flour for the shredded coconut. The beijinho de coco still turned out great!
