How to Make Beijinho De Coco Brazilian Coconut Balls
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup (140g) shredded sweetened coconut, 1/2 cup (60g) butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
- Continue cooking and stirring for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens considerably and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. It should form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the mixture to a lightly greased plate. Let it cool for 15-20 minutes, or until it's cool enough to handle.
- Lightly grease your hands with butter or coconut oil. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Place the sugar in a shallow dish. Roll each coconut ball in the sugar until it's completely coated.
- Place the finished Beijinhos on miniature paper liners or a serving platter. Enjoy!
