Inside this cookbook

30 Brazilian dessert recipes

Classic Brazilian sweets including brigadeiro, beijinho, pudim, bolo de cenoura, bolo de fubá, pavê, canjica, quindim, cocada, and more.

Measurements that travel

US cups, tablespoons, ounces, grams, Fahrenheit, and Celsius included where useful for kitchens outside Brazil.

Smart substitutions

Practical ingredient guidance explaining what works, what may change the texture, and what to avoid.

Made for Brazilian sweets outside Brazil

If you have ever tried to make brigadeiro, pudim, bolo de fubá, or Brazilian coconut sweets outside Brazil, you know the problem: different product names, unfamiliar starches, package sizes that do not match, dairy products with different fat content, and recipes that assume you can find the exact Brazilian ingredient.
