Beijinho de Coco (Coconut Little Kiss)

Ingredients:

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon butter, plus more for pan
1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
sweetened flaked coconut for decorating

Directions:

Bring milk and butter to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the milk has reduced to half and thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the 1/4 cup coconut and allow to cool a bit before pouring into a buttered bowl. Chill in the refrigerator until cold, about 2 hours.

With buttered or oiled hands, form milk mixture into tablespoon-sized balls, and roll in coconut flakes.
