Hmmm, it's hard to find a brazilian who doesn't like our sweets, and in this post you'll see why.
Brigadeiro- Condensed milk with chocolate and butter mixed in a pan and "rolled"(?) in granulated chocolate.
Beijinho (little kiss): Condensed milk and butter with coconut mixed in a pan and "rolled" in coconut.
Olho de Sogra: Is the same beijinho with a prune.
Pé de moleque: Toasted peanut with sugar.
Paçoca: Peanut smashed with sugar.
Cocada: Coconut toasted or not baked with sugar.
Sweet rice: Rice with sugar, condensed milk and cinnamon.
Sagu: A typical brazilian seed boiled with weak wine and sugar.
Pudim: Condensed milk wit eggs and sugar baked and ate like a cake.
Cake: Yes, our cake is different.
Quindim: Like a little pudim with coconut and more yolk
Queijadinha: A little sweet cheese cake (no, not a cheesecake)
Tapioca: A thin biju of tapioca filled with everything, generally with coconut and condensed milk.
Cural: Corn threshed cooked with sugar.
Pamonha: Cural in a corn stover and baked.
Goiabada: Guava with sugar
A looooot of thing I'll post some day.....
Ps: Why toshe names? Because in the colonial era in Brazil, the madams used to make sweets to give as a gift for their friends representing things, like little kisses(beijinho).
