Ingredients<\/strong>
\u2022 400 g sweetened condensed milk
\u2022 5 heaped tablespoons peanut butter
\u2022 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
\u2022 20 g dry grated coconut
\u2022 sugar and peanuts to garnish<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combine all the ingredients (except the ones to garnish) in a heavy bottomed saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and loosens from the pan. It takes about 10 minutes for a single dose recipe.
Pour the hot mixture on a buttered plate and let it cool.
Grease your hands with butter, take a small teaspoon of the mixture, and shape it in your hands to form rounded cones (the shape of cashews).
Roll the “cajuzinhos” in the sugar to coat them and insert \u00bd unsalted peanuts halfway in the center of the largest side.
Place the “cajuzinhos” in mini cupcake papers cases.
Notes:
\u2022 They taste even better after a few days and may be stored at room temperature for more than a week.
\u2022 They may be frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
