Ingredients

• 1 cup Coconut cream
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Grated unsweetened coconut
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 20 pieces Cloves
• 0.5 cup Grated unsweetened coconut (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut cream, coconut milk, and sugar over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir the mixture continuously to dissolve the sugar and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to simmer, add 1 cup of grated unsweetened coconut and continue to stir.

Step 4

Add coconut oil and vanilla extract to the simmering mixture, and keep stirring until it thickens, about 15-20 minutes. The mixture should start pulling away from the sides of the pan.

Step 5

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, which will make it easier to handle.

Step 6

Once cooled, grease your hands slightly with coconut oil to prevent sticking and take about a tablespoon of the mixture to form small balls.

Step 7

Roll each ball in the additional 0.5 cup of grated unsweetened coconut to coat.

Step 8

Place a clove in the top of each Beijinho ball, as a decorative touch.

Step 9

Serve at room temperature or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
