Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
3 cups water
2 whole cloves
1/2 a coconut
6 egg yolks
ground cinnamon, to taste

Steps:

  • Open the coconut, cut it in easy to handle pieces and grate about half of it (about 2 cups worth).
  • Combine the sugar, water and cloves in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it boils, stop stirring and allow to continue boiling until it reaches the temperature of 230 degrees on a candy thermometer. This may take quite a while.
  • Reduce the heat to low. With a slotted spoon remove and discard the cloves. Add the grated coconut, a little bit at a time, and mix well. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes. The coconut should become translucent. Remove from heat.
  • Beat the egg yolks until they thicken slightly, for about 1 minute. Stir in about 1/2 cup of the syrup and mix. Pour this mixture into the saucepan with the remaining syrup and stir together thoroughly.
  • Cook over moderate heat for about 10 minutes, stiring frequently, until the pudding thickens enough to pull away from the bottom and sides of the pan. Spoon the pudding into individual serving plates. Let cool, sprinkle with ground cinnamon and serve.

This cocada amarela is the perfect make-ahead dessert. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I added some chopped nuts to my cocada amarela for a little extra crunch. It was a great addition!

I made this cocada amarela in a mini muffin tin and they turned out so cute! They were the perfect size for a quick snack or dessert.

I had some trouble finding shredded coconut, so I used flaked coconut instead. The cocada amarela still turned out good, but I think it would have been better with shredded coconut.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cocada amarela didn't turn out as creamy as I would have liked. It was still good, but not great.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut desserts, but this cocada amarela was really good. It was light and fluffy, and the coconut flavor was just right.
