Many of the typical sweets of Venezuela come from the hand of the nuns who came to America in evangelizing missions and who already brought their culinary traditions, which at first they tried to keep as a closely guarded secret, in spite of this the mestizo women, Indian and black women who helped the kitchen were able to take these recipes from the convents to their homes and add a touch of their own to turn them into treasures of Venezuelan cuisine.

Ingredients:

• 2 coconuts
• 2 liters of milk
• 1 kilogram and a half of sugar
