Brazilian desserts are so special that, in my opinion, they deserve a book of their own. For us Brazilians, a meal simply is not complete without our beloved sobremesa!
This chapter features not only desserts, such as my grandma’s famous Mousse de Maracujá com Chocolate (Passion Fruit Mousse with Chocolate;), but also sweet treats that are meant to be enjoyed as afternoon snacks, accompanied by our cafézinho (coffee) or some tea.
If you are ready to dive into the world of Brazilian sweets, make sure to grab several cans of sweetened condensed milk on your next grocery store run, as you will find that it is a recurring ingredient in lots of these recipes. We Brazilians simply love our leite condensado!
