Description

Bombocado is a traditional Brazilian dessert known for its irresistibly soft and creamy texture, blending coconut, condensed milk, and Parmesan cheese into a dense, custardy cake. Baked until golden and slightly firm on top, it strikes a perfect balance between sweet and savory, thanks to the unique addition of cheese. Simple to make and incredibly satisfying, Bombocado is a staple at Brazilian bakeries and family gatherings alike. Best enjoyed slightly warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea.

Ingredients
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk – (395 g)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk – (120 ml)
  • 2 large eggs – (no conversion)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese – (50 g)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut – (80 g)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour – (16 g)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter – (14 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder – (2 g)
  • Pinch of salt – (1 g)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, whole milk, and eggs until smooth.
  3. 3
    Add in the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded coconut, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
  4. 4
    Sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix gently until fully incorporated and the batter is evenly blended.
  5. 5
    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  6. 6
    Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  7. 7
    Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing. Bombocado can be served warm or at room temperature, offering a deliciously rich texture and tropical flavor with every bite.
