Coquinho açucarado

Typical coconut Brazilian treat - you can easily find it in my homeland but you can make it at home too!

Coquinho açucarado (literally translated as "sugary little coconut") is a sweet from Brazil that I really enjoy. It can be found in the country with other name variations (such as coquinho queimado/"toasted coquinho" or coquinho doce/"sweet coquinho" and you can in fact buy coquinho even on the streets of big cities.

The steps are very similar to the sweetened peanut recipe that I shared last time I visited Brazil. This recipe is not exactly easy and you may screw up the first time you try it, but trust my words - the sugar will melt, crystallize and then melt back in a caramel. Takes some practice to get it done right but the effort won't be lost in vain: coquinho is super crunchy, the sweet texture is really pleasant and it makes a great appetizer dish!

Recipe

500g of coconut meat, broke in bite size pieces

500g cane sugar

500ml of water

Steps

Combine all ingredients in a deep pot.

Stir to dissolve the sugar.

Set the heat on high and let it cook for around 20 minutes.

After that, DON’T STIR! If you do it will mess up the recipe.

When the liquid is reduced and becomes thicker, stir vigorously with a spatula or a long wooden spoon.

While you are stirring the mix, the sugar will solidify, forming a crust over the coconut.  Keep stirring until the sugar is melted again.

Around 5-10 minutes later, a new crystallized coating will cover the coconut pieces. Keep stirring until almost 90% of the caramel is crystallized back.

Take it off the pot and spread on a surface. 

Separate the coconut with a spoon so they don’t bind up. Leave it to cool down.

Tips

Use a thick pot that holds a lot of heat.

Do not stir during the first step. Be careful with your hands as the ingredients and the pot will be extremely hot.

In case you don’t have cane sugar available, considering doubling the amount of your sugar of choice in order to compensate the sweetness.
