Baba de Moça Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 coconut
- 300g of sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- Vanilla
Instructions:
- Start by grating the coconut and warming it slightly in the oven. Then, squeeze it in a cloth to extract all the coconut milk.
- Next, prepare a syrup with the sugar. Cook it until the syrup reaches the “Thread Stage”.
- (Note: The “Thread Stage” is a stage in syrup where, when you take a small amount between your fingers and separate them, a thin thread forms that doesn’t break easily. This indicates that the syrup is at the right stage.)
- Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool.
- Dissolve the egg yolks in a bit of the syrup, then add the rest of the yolks and cook over low heat. Stir constantly until the bottom of the pan starts to show.
- Add the coconut milk just before seeing the bottom of the pan. The consistency of the Baba de Moça can be adjusted to be softer, depending on your preference.
- Add the vanilla when removing the mixture from the heat.
Tip: If you prefer, you can use store-bought coconut milk instead of preparing it from fresh coconut.
