Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 20 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and combined, then remove from heat.
Slowly pour the warm butter and condensed milk mixture over the coconut and sugar. Stir thoroughly using a wooden spoon or spatula until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The mixture should be moist and sticky but hold its shape when pressed.
In a separate small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Using your hands, shape the dough into small, walnut-sized balls and gently flatten them to form discs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the cakes are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish. Serve and enjoy with mint tea or coffee!
