Last year I went to\u00a0S\u00e3o Paulo<\/strong> for work and it didn’t take me long to fall in love with Brazilians: with their way of speaking, their amazing food<\/strong> and their cheerfulness (and yes, they are also very sexy<\/em> on average).<\/p>\n

Next to my hotel in the neighbourhood of Pinheiros, there was “Maria Brigadeiro<\/strong>“, an amazing small shop full of brigadeiros<\/strong>, the chocolate fudge truffles<\/strong> that are very popular in Brazil<\/strong>. That shop was selling brigadeiros like macarons are sold in France, which means 1) with\u00a0many different flavours and decorations, and 2) at quite a\u00a0high\u00a0price. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Life is short, start with the dessert<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That was the writing on the wall of the shop, where of course I bought more than a dozen different brigadeiros<\/strong>. They all tasted amazing, but the best ones were the traditional flavours, simply made with chocolate and condensed milk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And that’s exactly the recipe I made in these days, to celebrate the Olympics in Brazil: simple chocolate brigadeiros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The recipe is very easy<\/strong>, but you need to know when to stop stirring… that might take some practice! But trust me, it is very hard to fail at making brigadeiros<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Serve them at room temperature<\/strong> for an explosion of super-soft chocolate in your mouth! Bom apetite! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
