If you are using dry coconut, mix with the coconut milk and let it rest for an hour.Pre-heat the oven to 350 °F [176 °C].If you make it into a cake-sized dulce de coco horneado, line a 6-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Combine
Combine coconut, sugar, milk, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan. Stir to combine.Heat over low heat until, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced, and you are left with a paste-like fudge. Remove from the heat, and cool to room temperature.
3. Mold
Once the fudge has cooled, add the vanilla extract and eggs, and fold with a spatula to mix well.Add equal amounts of the batter into 8 silicone baking molds, or the lined pan.
4. Bake
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven or until it has a golden color.Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before removing from the molds.
