"Brigaderio [bɾiga'dejɾu] is a traditional Brazilian dessert. Imagine that a truffle and a bonbon had a child. That child is the brigaderio. You will find this sweet in various festive events, such as birthday parties and baby showers. I love this recipe because it is simple and oh-so-delicious. For a full experience, shape it into little balls, but if you can't wait, grab a spoon and dig in! " ~ Hianca Pinho
