If you are into desserts and all things sweet, you can’t miss any of these, all of them Brazilian, all very, very sweet. (Sugar was so common in colonial Brazil that it had be used in abundance).

Cocada

Coconut slivers connect by sugar and love. Available in regular or burnt coconut flavours. 

Beiju

A tapioca pancake filled with condensed milk, doce de leite or honey. Awesome.

Brigadeiro

Condensed milk meets chocolate on the stove, then is rolled into a ball and sprinkled with…chocolate sprinkles… must try.

Pudim de Clara

Before egg whites and sugar become a meringue, it becomes a pudim de clara, a very soft, sweet and airy pudim. A must for sweet-toothed people.

Pudim de Leite Just like a “flan”, but sweeter.

 Doce de leite de Cabra

Clumpy goat milk doce de leite (caramel’s rich cousin), eaten with cheese.

Fruit Salad If you are not into sweet stuff, then a tropical fruit salad is in order.

 Cuscus

Tapioca pudding in a stiffer form, topped with happiness` very own condensed milk.

Doce de Goiaba

It’s not an ear, but sweet guava preserve in syrup. Eat it with cheese.
