What is Brigadeiro?

Brigadeiro is a quintessentially Brazilian sweet, a chocolate truffle-like treat that has become synonymous with the country's culinary culture.

Made with a simple yet indulgent mixture of condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter, brigadeiros are cooked until they achieve a dense, fudgy texture, cooled, rolled into small balls, and coated in chocolate sprinkles.

This delectable confection is not only a staple at celebrations and festivities across Brazil, such as birthdays and weddings, but also enjoyed as a beloved everyday treat.

The origins of brigadeiro date back to the 1940s, named after Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, a Brazilian Air Force officer who ran for president.

The sweet was created and sold as a fundraiser for his campaign, quickly gaining nationwide popularity.

Despite the Brigadier not winning the presidency, the treat named after him won the hearts of Brazilians nationwide.

All the sweets look so good!

@jesusredeemedme2425

Ooohhh I’ve had these but I know them as “fudge”.

It is incredibly easy to make and easierrrr to eat haha! 

Also the batter-y mixture can be shaped different ways, in these round balls to make truffles, or can be set into square pieces, even in heart or star shaped moulds! 🥰

Loooovee these and sooo tempted to make them again! 😭

I am eager to learn more about the food from Brazil. I am wondering the difference between foods of the different South American countries.

Sorry it’s spelled picanha. It’s a different cut, steak. Mainly Brazilians make it. Not too expensive either at the butcher market, I think. Btw, the chocolate truffles from above are great 😊
