Brazilian pastry and desserts have their roots in Portuguese pastry, adapted to the ingredients available locally. They are always sugary and a punch of flavour
Brigadeiro:
Forget those overpriced chocolate truffles you get at fancy shops. These condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter balls rolled in sprinkles are Brazil’s answer to the perfect bite. They’re so good, you’ll wanna ditch your overpriced latte and just eat these all day.
Beijinho de Coco:
“Little coconut kisses” they call ’em. Condensed milk, shredded coconut, and butter come together in these chewy balls – a sweet escape without the plane ticket. Trust us, these are way better than that coconut water you’ve been sipping on.
Quindim:
Egg yolks, sugar, and coconut make this vibrant yellow custard. It’s got a glossy top that screams “eat me” and a dense texture that’ll make you forget all about flan. This ain’t your average custard, it’s the real deal.
Romeu e Julieta:
Guava paste and Minas cheese – it’s like the PB&J of Brazil, only way more sophisticated. Sweet and savory, this combo is a match made in heaven. Forget those boring cheese plates, this is what you need in your life.
Pavê:
Think tiramisu’s cooler cousin. Layers of cookies or cake, cream, and fillings like chocolate, fruit, or dulce de leche – it’s a party in your mouth. This ain’t your grandma’s layered dessert, it’s the life of the party.
Bolo de Cenoura:
Move over, carrot cake. This Brazilian version is moist, rich, and covered in chocolate frosting – the perfect excuse to skip your diet. Who needs kale when you can have this?
Pudim de Leite Condensado:
This ain’t your grandma’s custard. Condensed milk, eggs, and sugar create a creamy caramel dream that’ll have you saying “one more bite” – even if you’re already stuffed. Forget those fancy French desserts; this is where it’s at.
