beijinho
Beijinho is a popular Brazilian sweet made primarily from condensed milk, grated coconut, and butter. It is similar to the more widely known brigadeiro, but instead of cocoa powder, beijinho features coconut, giving it a distinct flavor. The mixture is cooked until it thickens, then rolled into small balls and coated with granulated sugar or shredded coconut.
Traditionally, beijinhos are served at birthday parties and celebrations in Brazil. They are often placed in small paper cups and enjoyed as a delightful treat. This sweet is not only loved for its taste but also for its simplicity and ease of preparation.
