Brazilian Brigadeiro

Brasilian Brigadeiros

Ingredients:
1 can of condensed milk
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons powdered chocolate
1/4 cup coconut flakes
Coconut flakes to cover the chocolate balls after rolling


To make the chocolate balls:
Pour the condensed milk into a saucepan and add the butter. Stir while cooking on medium heat. Stir all the time for about 10 minutes or until the batter becomes thick and looking like caramel. Try to put a small piece into cold water. If it get thick and sticky and you can roll it, it is done. If not cook and stir longer. Remove from heat and add the powdered chocolate and the coconut flakes. Stir so all is thoroughly blended in. Let it cool off.

When it is cooled off you roll the balls. Put a little butter into the palms of your hands when rolling and turn the balls in coconut flakes and they will stick.

These are really healthy chocolate balls for you!

Brazilian Carrot Cake "Bolo de Cenoura"

Bolo de Cenoura

 Cake:
2 cups all purpose flour (wheat flower)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup oil
1 cup grated carrot
2 cups sugar
4 eggs

Cocolate syrup:
10 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons powder chocolate
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter

Prepare the cake:
Place eggs, oil, carrots and sugar in a blender and beat well.
Add this mixture to the flour and baking powder.
Mix until the batter is a homogenous mass.
Pour batter into a baking pan covered with baking sheet or greased with butter.
Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) and bake for 40 minutes. Try with a toothpick to see if it is done.

Prepare the syrup:
In a saucepan, place sugar, powdered chocolate, milk and butter.
Cook the mixture, stirring continuously for about 10 minutes on medium heat. The topping is ready when it is the texture of chocolate syrup.

Cover the cake with the syrup and cool off. This time I didn´t cover the whole cake since I wanted to see the yellow carrot cake and I made it for a night snack. However for a more festive occation it could be glazed more beautifully:=).
