Bejinhos De Coco Little Coconut Kisses Recipe - condensed lowfat milk

Method

• Thoroughly butter a plastic tray or possibly cutting board and set aside.
• In a small heavy saucepan, combine the condensed lowfat milk and butter and cook over very low heat on a heatproof pad, stirring frequently, for about 15 min, till the mix thickens.
• Use a rubber spatula to reach all the way into the corners of the pan so which none of the mix scorches, as it is very delicate and easy to burn.
• If it seems to be getting too warm, remove it from the heat for 30 seconds to cold slightly.
• When the mix is quite thick, remove from the heat and cold for about 25 min, then stir in the coconut.
• Using a tiny ice-cream scoop (about 1 1/2 Tbsp.
• capacity) or possibly 2 tsp., scoop out little balls one by one and immediately drop them into a bowl of confectioners sugar.
• Roll around gently to coat them proportionately and transfer to the buttered tray.
• Continue till you have used all the mix and then stud each kiss with 2 or possibly 3 cloves.
• Store in a tightly covered container.
• This recipe yields about 18 kisses.
