The best known way to make this sweet is the one with condensed milk and coconut. In the recipe below, you will understand the basic procedure for cooking it:
- Put the condensed milk in a pan, along with the margarine and the grated coconut;
- Stir everything until the dough is consistent and coming off the pan;
- Reserve and let cool;
