Here I wanted to show so
me pictures i took a while ago in Caracas, of some typical venezuelan sweets made out of coconut, strangely enough, to be that much of a "classical" and locally produced venezuelan product, they weren't available everywhere and i had to look out for some of them, since there were none available near the place where I live...you have more of a change to encounter an italian cannoli or a chocolate truffle, or any french-inspired pastry on any given bakery or patisserie than a coconut dessert here which i found strange.
Note that there are many more desserts made out of coconut here, but i only posted the ones i encountered and that could be readily bought. There's another one that's very famous called Bienmesabe, which has coconut too but i didn't find one that day.Later on, i found it but i didn't have my camera on me!
This is a type of coconut preserve with toasted coconut shavings and sugar cane:
This is a coconut candy made with shredded coconut and caramelized sugar cane:
This one is a shredded coconut sweet made with white sugar and condensed milk:
This is a sort of coconut preserve made with coconut and glucose -and powdered sugar of course-:
