For a richer flavor, use coconut milk instead of cow's milk in the original recipe. If the mixture is too soft to roll, chill for a longer period. Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as sprinkles or chopped nuts. Beijinhos are best enjoyed within 3-4 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium saucepan, combine the condensed milk and butter. (2 minutes)
02
StepCook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until the mixture thickens and reduces by about half. This should take approximately 18-20 minutes. The mixture is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the pan.
03
StepRemove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of sweetened flaked coconut. (1 minute)
04
StepTransfer the mixture to a buttered bowl or plate. (1 minute)
05
StepCover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
06
StepOnce chilled, lightly grease your hands with butter. Roll tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into smooth balls. (15 minutes)
07
StepRoll each ball in the sweetened flaked coconut until fully coated. (10 minutes)
08
StepGently insert a whole clove into the top of each beijinho as a decorative touch. (5 minutes)
09
StepArrange the beijinhos on a serving plate and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
