Cocada

Cocada is a traditional coconut confection eaten across much of Latin America and parts of Europe, particularly popular in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador and Spain. It is made from shredded coconut, sugar, coconut milk and eggs, oven baked, then served at room temperature to give it a chewy, soft texture, and it is often garnished with whole or chopped almonds. Traditional versions are golden brown, though modern cocadas are frequently colored with food dye.
