  • Boil one and a half liters of milk with cinnamon sticks and piloncillo, removing any foam that forms.
  • Add the cornstarch (which has been previously dissolved in half a liter of milk) and the butter.
  • Stir slowly and cook over low heat for ten minutes or until it reaches the right consistency (which is recognized by placing a tablespoon of the mixture on a plate, letting it cool, and being able to easily detach it).
  • Just before removing it from the heat, add the coconut, stir, and pour it into the molds.
  • At the time of serving the individual portion, sprinkle a little ground cinnamon on top.
