About Cocada
Cocada is a traditional dessert originating from Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, especially popular in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. This sweet treat is made primarily from shredded coconut, sugar, and condensed milk, often baked to create a chewy, golden texture. Variations may include additional ingredients like vanilla, cinnamon, or nuts, and it is commonly shaped into bars or small patties. Rich in flavor and coconut's natural oils, cocada provides dietary fiber and essential minerals such as manganese and copper. However, it is high in sugar and calories due to its sweeteners, making it more suitable as an occasional indulgence rather than a regular snack. Its simplicity and adaptability make cocada a beloved dessert across cultures, often served during festivals or as a delightful treat with coffee or tea.
