🇬🇧 Desserts: Cocada Amarela (Angola)

Let’s continue learning desserts from different countries. Here you can know a flavour from Angola, influenced by portuguese gastronomy. It’s called yellow cocada.

Ingredients:

• 100ml water
• 1 tsp. sugar
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. dried powdered cloves
• 100g desiccated coconut or 1 coconut (grated)
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/8 tsp. dry coriander (optional)

Instructions:

1. Add sugar, cloves, coriander and water into a saucepan and allow to boil under medium heat.
2. Continue stirring until the sugar has thoroughly dissolved.
3. Then allow the mixture to boil for at least 10 mins to form a syrup.
4. Remove from heat and set the syrup aside.
5. Break the eggs into a clean bowl separating the yolks from the albumen.
6. Add salt into the egg yolks and whisk together until thickened.
7. Stir in the grated coconut, add the syrup and mix properly.
8. Return the saucepan to a medium heat and pour the mixture into the saucepan.
9. Continue stirring constantly until the pudding is thickened. Then, it’s ready.
