Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon butter, plus more for pan
0.25 cup sweetened flaked coconut
sweetened flaked coconut for decorating
whole cloves for decorating

Instructions

In a saucepan, gently simmer milk and butter over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Cook until the milk reduces by half and thickens, approximately 20 minutes. Take off the heat, mix in 1/4 cup of coconut, and let it cool slightly before transferring to a buttered bowl. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, around 2 hours.
Using buttered or oiled hands, shape the chilled milk mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each ball in coconut flakes and adorn with a clove for that classic Beijinho look.
