Oven Cocada

Preparation mode

• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• In a pan, mix the sugar, water and butter. Place over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
• Add the grated coconut to the mixture in the pan and cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken.
• Meanwhile, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Reserve the egg whites and add the yolks to the coconut mixture, mixing well.
• Continue cooking the mixture until it reaches a creamy consistency. Make sure to stir constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt. When the coconut mixture is ready, remove from the heat and gently fold in the egg whites.
• Transfer the mixture to a greased baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden.
• Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into pieces.
