Brigadeiro
The next Brazilian street food is brigadeiro, which is known as a typical dessert in the country. Although the dessert's origin is unknown, the most widely accepted theory holds that Heloisa Nabuco de Oliveira, a Rio de Janeiro confectioner, invented it to support Eduardo Gomes's presidential campaign. The outer layer is covered with chocolate sprinkles and the ingredients include butter, condensed milk, and cocoa powder.
Across the nation, brigadeiro is a well-liked treat, particularly for festive occasions. Brigadeiros can be purchased from bakeries, and snack shops or on the street. Usually, it is formed into tiny balls, coated in chocolate sprinkles, and put inside a tiny cupcake liner. Another option is to transfer the mixture into a tiny container and eat it with a spoon. Brigadeiro is currently present in several nations due to migration from Brazil.
Variations in coating and flavor of the classic chocolate brigadeiro have gained popularity in recent years. This fad of many dishes, including cakes, tarts, ice cream, and even bread, was sparked by the easy manipulation of the original treat and its variety of flavors.
Brigadeiro is often served at children's birthday parties or as a dessert after a meal. Try making it for your family with the Brazilian street food recipe below.
