Brazilian Bom-Bocado (Egg Custard)

  4.7 – 3 reviews  • Brazilian

These thick and filling lemon cookies are wonderful! When you remove them from the oven just as the edges start to brown, they taste their best.

Prep Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 40 mins
Servings: 12
Yield: 12 bom-bocado

Ingredients

  1. 1 teaspoon butter
  2. 1 teaspoon white sugar
  3. 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  4. ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  5. 2 eggs
  6. 1 pinch finely grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a mini cupcake mold with butter and coat with sugar.
  2. Mix condensed milk, shredded coconut, eggs, and Parmesan cheese together in a bowl until combined. Pour coconut mixture into prepared cupcake mold, filling each cup to 3/4 full.
  3. Place cupcake mold into a roasting pan about 1 inch larger than the cupcake mold. Pour hot tap water into the roasting pan until it is halfway up the sides of the cupcake mold, about 1 inch.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the coconut mixture is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  5. Cool on a wire rack until the custard can easily be removed from the mold. Place custards into mini paper muffin cup liners.
  6. Refrigerate until chilled.
  7. Grana Padano can be substituted for the Parmesan cheese.
  8. You can also use cupcake molds, but I’d just just fill 1/2 of the mold and give them a bit more time in the oven.

Yummy. Super easy!!! I had extra cans of sweetened condensed milk left over from Christmas I needed to use. So I searched here to find something quick and easy for dinner. We love macaroons, flan, custard, cream brûlée so this looked great….and it was! I shared a pic of going in oven along with a shrimp casserole. I love it when I can bake two dishes at the same time! I did increase baking time to 20 minutes.

These lovely custard morsels were just the right size after a rich meal. I loved the texture and the coconut flavour, and they are so quick and easy to make!

I don’t know what these are supposed to taste like. Having said that I can say that I really liked these. They’re like a cross between a macroon and an egg custard. I noticed that they almost formed 2 layers, coconut baked at the top and the custard at the bottom. I baked them in my mini muffin tins and I wound up with 24 not 12. The timing was way off, took 18 minutes for them to turn a golden brown. All in all, very easy to make.
