Coquinho

Shred the coconut in the coconut milk

Melt the sugar and water in a saucepan over low heat, stirring only until dissolved

Let it simmer for about 5 minutes and add the shredded coconut

Reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly, until it starts to detach from the bottom of the pan

Allow it to cool

In a frying pan, mix the flaked coconut with the cocoa powder and toast lightly

Form small balls of about 2 cm in diameter with the lightly oiled hands and coat them in shredded coconut

Make approximately 55 units

Note: These cookies can be made two days in advance

To do so, keep them in a well-closed container to prevent drying out.
