Steps:
- Add the condensed milk, the butter, and the cream to a medium sauce pan and place it over medium heat until the butter melts.
- After the butter has melted, add half of the shredded coconut (1/2 cup) to the pan and stir.
- Continue to cook over medium heat, for approximately 10 mins, stirring repeatedly, scraping the sides and the bottom of the pan with a spatula to avoid burning.
- The beijinho is ready when you scrape the bottom of the pan, and the mixture takes 2-3 seconds to come back to its place, or when the mixture reaches 210F-220F - You can use a candy thermometer, or just a regular food thermometer to check.
- Pour the hot coconut mixture into a dish, or plate, cover with plastic wrap to contact and let it cool - about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, pour the remaining shredded coconut in a deep plate or bowl.
- When the beijinho mixture has cooled, butter your hands, and scoop 1/2 Tbsp to Tbsp portions and roll little balls.
- Roll the little balls in the shredded coconut, and insert a whole clove to each little coconut ball to decorate, if desired.
- Keep them in a cool place or in the refrigerator until serving time.

{BEIJINHOS DE COCO} BRAZILIAN COCONUT TREATS
These little coconut treats are called Beijinhos - beijinhos literally mean "little kisses" in Portuguese. They are the coconut equivalent of Brigadeiros which are made exactly the same but with chocolate and very popular for kids parties in Brazil. I also like to make it as a little treat every so often!

Steps:
- In a pan add the condensed milk, 100g of coconut flakes and the butter. Now the fun begins! Over medium heat start stirring. And keep stirring until the mixture thickens and you can see the bottom of the pan for a good few seconds before the mixture levels out again. This is really important. This process should take at least 6-7 min, don't rush it or it won't be the right consistency to roll into balls.
- Leave it to cool, about 15min or enough so that it is cool to handle and it has hardened up a little.
- Grab the flakes you had reserved for rolling. You can do 2 things here: 1) Use them as they are to roll or 2) Blitz them so that they are super fine. I blitzed them as I like the outside texture to be soft. But it is totally up to you if you decide to do this.
- Coat your hands in a little butter (just so that the mixture doesn't stick) and start making your balls. I like mine the size of a little smaller than a measuring tablespoon. Once all rolled out put one clove in the midle for decoration. This is traditional and for decoration. Remove it before eating and it does leave a nice taste.

Steps:
- Put all the ingredients in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and mix constantly with a wooden spoon (about 15 minutes).
- When mixture begins to thicken and begin to loosen from the bottom of the pan when you scrap it with the wooden spoon you know the mixture has completed the cooking cycle.
