Start by explaining the recipe and its origins, mentioning that traditional cocada uses egg yolks or condensed milk.

Introduce the ingredients: fresh grated coconut, dry coconut flakes, sugar, honey, glucose syrup, and coconut oil.

Mix together sugar, honey, and glucose syrup in a bowl to create a binding mixture.

Add fresh grated coconut and dry coconut flakes to the mixture, stirring to combine.

Incorporate egg whites into the coconut mixture to help bind the ingredients together.

Add a splash of vanilla extract and lime juice for flavor.

Sprinkle in salt and cinnamon, mixing thoroughly to distribute evenly.

Add all-purpose flour to the mixture for structure, stirring until well combined.

Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray, pressing down firmly to create an even layer.

Allow the mixture to rest before baking to help it set.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the cocada in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature.

Once cooled, cut into squares or bars for serving.
