Brigadeiro Bakery
Brazil's Iconic Milk Truffles
Brigadeiro (bri-ga-DAY-ro) n. Portuguese for little balls of fudgy deliciousness. Brazil is winning over the hearts and taste buds of New Yorkers with these tasty treats thanks to Brazilian chef Mariana Vieira. Brigadeiros are small candies made with sweetened condensed milk, butter and traditionally chocolate. They’ve become a staple at every Brazilian birthday party since their creation in the 1940s, making our birthday cakes look, well… basic.
Okay Brazil, we see you.
