What a beautiful homage to Iemanja amiga 💙💙 may we all ebb and flow and rinse and repeat in the magic of our oceans… my favorite place on earth and my highest sense of belonging é quando mergulho no mar, especialmente o nosso 🫶

Thank you, my dear Volta! She's amazingly popular back home. I hope you can come visit me in Brazil one day so we can offer Yemenjá something beautiful, perhaps one of your watercolors--I'm sure she'd love it!

You astound me with your beautiful words and sentiments. And we know I do love my coconut. May have to try this one out.

I loved the title, it invited me to read.

There was a time when I made so much manjar de coco, when in was beginning to work in the catering business, but time passed and I couldn't find it anymore.

I open my e-mail and the title of your article invited me to read it, and when it was over, the desire to eat it was even stronger.

I'm going to make your recipe, tks

Your comment simply made my day! Thank you so very much!

How amazing that you used to make Manjar de Coco. I've always been a huge fan!

I hope you like this pot de creme format, but in any case, I plan on sharing a more traditional Manjar recipe soon.

Big hugs, and thanks for reading!
